Polish prosecutors investigate crypto firm’s links to conservative opposition politicians and organisations

Polish prosecutors are investigating possible criminal offenses related to alleged financial support from a collapsed cryptocurrency firm, Zondacrypto, to organizations and individuals connected to Poland's right-wing opposition parties. Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek confirmed that Zondacrypto, which collapsed earlier this year, may have financed various entities, including the Law and Justice (PiS) opposition party, CPAC, and the Polish Olympic Committee.

The investigation has uncovered potential losses of at least 350 million zloty (€81.4 million) and identified hundreds of possible victims. Lawyers representing Zondacrypto's former head, Przemysław Kral, and the accused himself have stated that their clients are cooperating with prosecutors.
