Poland: Poland’s anti-corruption agency searches offices of financial watchdog
Poland’s anti-corruption agency has searched the offices of the country’s financial watchdog, a day after its head resigned following allegations that he solicited a bribe from the owner of one of the country’s banks.
Prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki has ordered an investigation into the allegations, first reported by the Financial Times and Gazeta Wyborcza, and the CBA anti-corruption agency said on Wednesday it had entered the headquarters of the country’s financial watchdog (KNF) and was securing evidence.
Marek Chrzanowski, who stepped down as head of the KNF on Tuesday, has denied any wrongdoing and described the allegations against him as a “dishonest” and “baseless” provocation.
