Marcin Romanowski reportedly located in Transnistria

Marcin Romanowski Transnistria Justice Fund Donald Tusk Tiraspol

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has stated there is a 99 percent certainty that Marcin Romanowski, a former Deputy Justice Minister, is currently located in Tiraspol, within the breakaway Transnistria region of Moldova. This information was reportedly confirmed by intelligence services from cooperating regional countries.

Romanowski is wanted in connection with an investigation into irregularities involving the Justice Fund. His legal team recently submitted a request for a safe-conduct letter to the Warsaw District Court, with the correspondence appearing to have been sent from Tiraspol. While the defense has confirmed the filing and Romanowski's presence outside the EU, the National Prosecutor's Office maintains that current evidence does not legally confirm his location in Transnistria.

The situation has drawn sharp political criticism, with concerns raised regarding the security implications of a former official with access to classified documents being in a region under Russian influence. The Moldovan government has noted that while Romanowski has not officially entered Moldova through controlled borders, they are monitoring the situation.
