        On July 21, 1952, the Supreme Military Court in Warsaw, chaired by Piotr Parzeniecki, sentenced him on the basis of Article 86 § 1, 2 of the Polish Criminal Code and Article 7 in connection with Article 15 § 2 of the Small Penal Code to death with loss of rights forever and forfeiture of property[ 5].

        Together with him, the following were sentenced in the same trial: Lt. Cdr. Robert Kasperski (pardoned), Lt. Cdr. Zbigniew Przybyszewski, Cdr. Jerzy Staniewicz and Cdr. Marian Wojcieszek (pardoned), to life imprisonment: Lt. Lieutenant Commander Wacław Krzywiec. President Bierut did not use the right of clemency against him. He was executed in the Mokotowskie Prison in Warsaw on December 16, 1952. His body was secretly buried by the public security authorities in the so-called "Łączka" at the Powązki Military Cemetery in Warsaw.

        By decision of April 24, 1956, the Supreme Military Court resumed the proceedings and overturned the sentence of 1952, stating the complete innocence of the convicts. The report of the Mazur Commission mentions him by name as unjustly sentenced to death.
