A report by Kanał Zero detailed accusations from two former female associates, who alleged that Kołodziejczak engaged in physical and psychological violence, verbal abuse, and economic abuse.

As the situation progresses, the Warsaw District Prosecutor's Office is reviewing evidence and planning to interview additional witnesses and examine recorded materials. Additionally, the Ministry has launched an audit, and Kołodziejczak's financial disclosures have come under scrutiny, revealing assets including a farm valued at 3.1 million PLN and savings exceeding 400,000 PLN. Following the ongoing investigation, detective Detective Krzysztof Rutkowski announced that Kołodziejczak will undergo laboratory hair testing to detect the presence of drugs, a measure intended to ensure results are not tampered with. During a press conference, Rutkowski also revealed he filed a separate notification regarding alleged corruption and criminal ties involving three political figures, including a current government deputy minister, though they were not named. As the scandal intensifies, Kołodziejczak faces potential political ruin. Critics have pointed to his history of controversial stances, including advocating for trade with Russia during farmer embargoes and allegations of spreading anti-Ukrainian propaganda utilized by Russian and Belarusian media outlets.
