Summary/Abstract: The article presents selected cases of criminal activity in 2022 based on statistics prepared by police, the National Revenue Administration and border police. The study is part of an annual series that aims to illustrate the trends and threats to monuments and cultural assets in a given year. The complementary presentation of collective information on risks to cultural heritage is essential for a research perspective and to develop a strategy for its protection. Criminal activity involving cultural heritage is influenced by specific events that affect the level of security in a State. Among the factors that should be taken into account when analyzing the phenomenon of crime against cultural heritage in 2022, threats arising from the Russian aggression on Ukraine should be considered.
