Polish Olympic chief charged in Zondacrypto probe, justice minister says
Polish Olympic Committee president Radosław Piesiewicz faces charges as prosecutors investigate his ties to collapsed cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto.
Polish prosecutors charged the head of the Polish Olympic Committee in an investigation linked to defunct cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto.
Authorities detained the committee’s president, Radosław Piesiewicz, in connection with the Zondacrypto probe, Poland’s Justice Minister and Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek announced in an X post on Thursday.
Żurek later said prosecutors charged Piesiewicz under two provisions of Poland’s Penal Code, involving allegations of influence peddling and favoring some creditors over others while facing insolvency.
