Letters to Hungarian Authorities Regarding Ziobro and Romanowski
Polish Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek sent two letters to Hungarian authorities on Tuesday concerning the investigation led by Team No. 2 of the National Prosecutor’s Office into irregularities related to the Justice Fund, according to press spokesperson Anna Adamiak.
Inquiry on European Arrest Warrant for Romanowski
The first letter from Waldemar Żurek to the Hungarian Minister of Justice requests information on whether a European arrest warrant issued by a Polish court for Marcin Romanowski, who is “hiding from the Polish justice system,” has been acted upon and, if so, at what stage the execution proceedings are.
Information on Investigation into Ziobro and Romanowski
The second letter, addressed to the Hungarian Minister of the Interior, provides information about the investigation conducted by Team No. 2 of the National Prosecutor’s Office. This investigation has led to a decision to present charges against Zbigniew Ziobro for 26 alleged crimes and against Marcin Romanowski for 19, including embezzlement and attempted embezzlement of substantial public funds from the Justice Fund.
Charges and Request to Revoke Asylum
According to the statement, the Prosecutor General informed the Hungarian Minister of the Interior about the initiation of a search for Marcin R. based on a European arrest warrant transmitted to the Hungarian Ministry of Justice on February 27, 2026. He also indicated that Zbigniew Z. and Marcin R. are currently on Hungarian territory and, according to unconfirmed information from Hungarian authorities, have obtained asylum there.
Request for Confirmation of Asylum Status and Revocation
Waldemar Żurek also requested the Hungarian Minister of the Interior to confirm the granting of refugee status to both suspects and to provide the dates of those decisions. Furthermore, should the granting of asylum to Zbigniew Z. and Marcin R. be confirmed, the Prosecutor General requested action be taken to revoke those decisions.
