WASHINGTON D.C. — An Indiana man who identified himself as a Nazi will serve time in federal prison after pleading guilty to calling up Anti-Defamation League offices in multiple states and leaving voicemails where he threatened to assault and kill Jewish people.

According to the United States Department of Justice, Andrzej Boryga, 67, pleaded guilty to willfully transmitting in interstate commerce threats to injure other people and for choosing his victims because of their religion. He was sentenced to two years in prison followed by two years of supervised release.

“Hate-fueled threats of violence seek to fracture our society and isolate communities from one another,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. 

“This case represents the latest effort by the Justice Department to combat the disturbing increase in threats against Jews and Jewish institutions across the United States,” Garland added.

Previous stories detail how between July 9, 2022, and Dec. 14, 2022, Boryga called up Anti-Defamation League offices in New York, Colorado, Nevada and Texas where he left threatening voicemails filled with antisemitic slurs and death threats.

In one of the voicemails to a New York office, Boryga threatened to cut off people’s heads and put them on “display” on 3rd Avenue.

In a voicemail to a Denver office, he identified himself as a Nazi and once more commented about how he “could not wait” to cut off their heads.

“I will kill you motherf—– with pleasure,” a voicemail from Sept. 29, 2022, reportedly stated.

“This type of antisemitic, hate-fueled conduct offends our most basic values and has no place in our society,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

The FBI Indianapolis Field Office investigated the case with the U.S. Attorney Office’s Southern District of Indiana helping to prosecute the case.

“Everyone in our country should be able to sit in safety regardless of how they worship, free from bigoted threats meant to make them afraid,” said U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Myers for the Southern District of Indiana.
