Radosław Piesiewicz, president of PKOl, was detained on August 27 by CBZC officers in an investigation into Zondacrypto. Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously referred to the improvement of the case as "serial", and Roman Gierty represents the head of the stock exchange. These facts do not show political control of the proceedings, but require full transparency and restraint from power.
Detention of PKOl President
Radosław Piesiewicz was detained on Thursday by officers of the Central Bureau of Cybercrime Combat. They acted on orders from the Katowice Department of the National Prosecutor's Office. Police informed after detention that the prosecutor would decide on the function of the trial president of the Polish Olympic Committee and further actions.
This discrimination is fundamental. Stopping doesn't mean conviction, and reporting to the media about a watch and another gifts is not a valid settlement. Piesiewicz himself publically claimed that he paid for the watch. Previous DN material on halt and zondacrypto thread presents the state of affairs without prejudging the guilt.
Political announcement before trial decisions
Radio Maryja pointed out that Donald Tusk, before stopping, spoke of the Zondacrypto case as a series that is about to start. specified a language is good for building tensions on social media. It is bad for serious investigation, especially erstwhile it falls from the mouth of the head of government.
The Prime Minister has the right to comment on public matters. However, it should not make the impression that it knows the script of further episodes of the procedure conducted by the state authorities. Poland needs a prosecutor's office that presents evidence and procedural decisions, not a political spectacle with the announced cast.
Doubt increases Roman Gierty's presence in this story. associate of the Civic Coalition reported that he has been the defending associate of Przemysław Kral, head of Zondacrypto since May. The specified fact of the performance of the defence does not imply any unlawful influence. However, combining the parliamentary mandate in the ruling camp with representing a individual crucial for a loud investigation creates a clear political problem. Citizens have the right to request a clear separation of client interest, organization activity and state activities.
The investigation has its own weight
The Regional Prosecutor's Office in Katowice informed on 22 Junethat the case concerns suspected fraud to the detriment of Zondacrypto's customers. Polish prosecutors besides took coordination action with Monaco's justice system. This is simply a case of real weight, not a comfortable prop for the current organization fight.
In the public space appeared the findings of Virtual Poland and TVN24 concerning Piesiewicz's relation with Kralem and costly watch. The substance needs to be clarified to the end. It concerns the president of PKOl, an institution to represent Polish sport, and a company that was sponsored with the Olympic movement. Controversy around the watch for 40 1000 euros they deserve an answer based on documents, financial flows and testimony.
The state is to explain, not direct
The ruling camp may effort to present any activity of the service as another act of the large accounting of the right hand. The opposition may, in turn, respond to any detention as repression. Both attitudes are comfortable and both interfere in reaching the truth.
The interest of Poland is simple: investigators are to safe evidence, the prosecution is to disclose charges within the limits of the law, and the court is to justice material without telephones from political offices. If there is corruption or fraud, they should respond independently of organization colors. If there is no evidence, the state cannot destruct a man's reputation with a spectacular detention.
The trust of Poles in law enforcement is at stake. The government that announces the “serial” before the next steps puts this assurance to the test. Donald Tusk should let the papers and prosecutors speak. The state of law doesn't request a director.
