The media reports a secret gathering between the head of Zondacrypto Przemysław Krala and Prosecutor Mark Woolna in 1 of the Gulf States. The talks were to concern possible cooperation and the position of a Crown Witness. Kral, according to Business Insider, is not presently suspected or wanted. In this case, maximum transparency of procedures is needed, due to the fact that it is about assurance in the state and the financial market.
Meeting outside Poland
Polsat News, Onet, Business Insider and Rzeczpospolita described reports of the secret gathering of prosecutor Mark Wool with Przemysław Kral, head of Zondacrypto. According to these reports, the conversation was to take place in 1 of the Gulf states and concern possible cooperation with the prosecutor.
The media indicates that the state of the Crown witness appears in the background. Business Insider emphasized that Kral is not presently suspected of having committed a crime, nor is he listed as a wanted person. That's an crucial reservation, due to the fact that in a state of law, you can't make a judgement out of media reports.
Cryptovaluts, investigations and trust
Cases concerning cryptocurrency exchanges are peculiarly sensitive. They combine technology, money, global transfers and suspected money laundering. That is why the state must act precisely, without leaks utilized as a tool of pressure.
If the prosecution is looking for cognition of the mechanisms of the market, it should do so in accordance with the procedure. If the media describes informal negotiations, the public has the right to ask who made the decision, on what basis and what the procedural intent is.
Interest of the citizen
Poles keep savings in banks, on stock exchanges and increasingly in digital instruments. all large case around cryptocurrency affects the sense of financial security. The state cannot look like a backstage player.
The marketplace needs clear rules. The prosecution needs credibility. A citizen needs certainty that the fight against crime does not turn into a political or media spectacle.
