Radosław Piesiewicz Arrested in Warsaw Over Zondacrypto Case

Radosław Piesiewicz, head of the Polish Olympic Committee, was arrested by the Central Bureau of Cybercrime in Warsaw in connection with an investigation into Zondacrypto. The arrest took place in the morning hours. Piesiewicz is suspected of accepting a watch worth nearly 180,000 zlotys from Przemysław Kral, the head of Zondacrypto, who allegedly also funded his expensive trips. In return, Piesiewicz was said to have used his influence with politicians, including Mateusz Morawiecki. Zondacrypto was a sponsor of the Polish Olympic Committee, which raised controversy, especially after the name of the PKOL headquarters was changed to 'Zondacrypto Olympic Center'. Athletes who won medals at the Winter Olympics in Milan were supposed to receive part of their bonuses in cryptocurrencies; however, PKOL admitted that there is no possibility of paying out the rewards. In recent days, Przemysław Kral has been testifying in the prosecutor's office as a 'minor crown witness', which could be incriminating for politicians associated with Law and Justice. The prosecutor's office is investigating Zondacrypto's connections with other entities, and client losses are estimated at several hundred million zlotys.
