Marcin Romanowski flees to Transnistria amid corruption probe
Former Polish Deputy Justice Minister Marcin Romanowski has reportedly fled to Transnistria to avoid prosecution. He is wanted by Polish authorities regarding the suspected illegal misappropriation of funds from the Justice Fund, which were allegedly used to support political campaigns rather than crime victims.
Legal expert Jacek Dubois has commented on potential defense strategies, suggesting that obtaining bail could allow Romanowski to remain in the country outside of pre-trial detention. Dubois also noted that a presidential pardon could be a potential outcome if a conviction occurs.
A recent poll by SW Research indicates public division regarding the matter; 47.7% of respondents believe special services should forcibly return Romanowski to Poland, while 20.6% disagree, and 31.7% remain undecided.
