Investigation into Magdalena Ogórek's looted art museum
Overview
Magdalena Ogórek, a former media presenter and presidential candidate, announced her departure from wPolsce24 to focus on the Museum of Looted Art (Muzeum Sztuki Zagrabionej) in Sulisławice, Lower Silesia. The museum, which has been in development since 2017, features historical archives and materials collected from Italy, Germany, and former SS residences regarding the Holocaust and actions against Poles and Jews.
Following the announcement, the District Prosecutor's Office in Świdnica launched an investigation into Ogórek regarding the establishment of the museum. The probe was initiated after the National Revenue Administration raised concerns about the potential misuse of subsidized funds. The investigation is examining potential fraud and crimes involving property of significant value, specifically regarding how the project was financed through private donations and grants from foundations associated with KGHM, Orlen, and Energa.
