Two priests in Poland have been arrested, suspected of sexual abuse.

The two men are accused of committing sexual abuse against minors, says the spokesperson for the prosecution authority in Sosnowiec.

The two work in a congregation in the southern part of the country that has already been affected by notable cases of suspected sexual offenses.

A former bishop there was forced to leave his post after a decision by the Vatican, after it was revealed that one of the priests in the congregation had participated in a party where a male prostitute was also present.

The latest arrests came as a result of an investigation involving murder and suicide, and which involves two priests in Sosnowiec.

A former priest in the community has previously been arrested, accused of fraud.
