Tomasz Sakiewicz identified as 'Pan X' in Zondacrypto investigation
Investigations into the Zondacrypto cryptocurrency exchange affair have identified Tomasz Sakiewicz, president of Telewizja Republika, as the individual referred to as 'Pan X' in parliamentary testimony. According to reports from TVN24 and Wirtualna Polska, Zondacrypto head Przemysław Kral testified that 'Pan X' promised to secure a presidential pardon from Karol Nawrocki in exchange for financial benefits.
Reports indicate that Telewizja Republika issued approximately 1.62 million euros in advertising invoices to Kral's company, Expofer Servis House. The Presidential Palace has officially denied these allegations, with spokesperson Rafał Leśkiewicz describing the claims as 'bujdy na resorach' (nonsense) and asserting that President Nawrocki has not authorized anyone to discuss pardons.
Political reactions have been polarized. Prime Minister Donald Tusk highlighted the potential infiltration of political circles by those involved in the matter, while Jarosław Kaczyński accused the current government of spreading falsehoods regarding the investigation. The case remains a central point of contention in Polish political discourse.
