Poland Olympic Chief Arrested in Crypto Probe

Polish Olympic Committee President Radoslaw Piesiewicz was arrested in connection with a corruption case involving cryptocurrency, confirmed by a judicial source and Poland's Sports Minister Jakub Rudnicki. Piesiewicz is suspected of accepting bribes related to sponsor contracts with Zondacrypto, which the Polish government accuses of ties to nationalist opposition groups, organized crime, and Russian intelligence.

The investigation, which began in April, led Polish sports federations to demand Piesiewicz's resignation. They claim he personally signed a sponsorship agreement with Zondacrypto that would reward medal winners from the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina with cryptocurrency. "Such a person should never have been president of Poland's Olympic Committee," stated Sports Minister Rudnicki. livefromquarantine.club
