Polsat News Interview on Zondacrypto
During a Monday interview on Polsat News, discussions addressed the crypto exchange Zondacrypto scandal. Onet reported that former head Przemysław Kral faces large-scale fraud charges, with “Wyborczej” confirming the charge and noting his legal representatives are Jacek Dubois and Roman Giertych. TVP Info previously reported that Kral may seek minor crown witness status.
Asked if Kral’s potential testimony could harm the Polish right wing, Mateusz Morawiecki stated it would sink the government. He mentioned that since last autumn he openly questioned why current prime minister’s special services allowed Poles to continue investing despite knowing about Zondacrypto irregularities.
Morawiecki’s Warnings to Politicians
The former head of government stated he has a very clean conscience on the matter and warned both opposition and coalition MPs to stop protecting the individual, speaking directly about the threats associated with Zondacrypto.
“Wyborczej” sources report that Zondacrypto CEO Przemysław Kral remains outside Poland, and news of his potential cooperation with the prosecutor’s office caused panic in the right-wing camp, according to Dominika Wielowieyska’s text on Wyborcza.pl.
Liquidity Problems and Prosecutor Investigation
Media began reporting potential liquidity problems at Zondacrypto in early April, with Ireneusz Sudak of Wyborcza.biz first describing financial troubles. The zonda-alert.pl site revealed withdrawal issues before being quickly blocked, while a cryptocurrency investor waited three days for a payout and a crypto insider noted excessive marketing spending.
An analysis obtained by money.pl and Wirtualna Polska revealed a 99 percent drop in Zondacrypto’s bitcoin reserves. The Katowice Regional Prosecutor’s Office initiated proceedings against the cryptocurrency exchange on April 17.
Investigation Expansion and Sponsorship Termination
Katowice Regional Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson Prosecutor Michał Binkiewicz stated in April that the investigation was launched over suspected fraud and money laundering, with prosecutors verifying all media-reported circumstances regarding the entity.
On August 3, the investigation was merged with proceedings in the Silesian National Prosecutor’s Office department concerning the 2022 disappearance of exchange founder Sylwester Suszek, with the combined case now handled by the Silesian PK department.
Zondacrypto served as the general sponsor of the Polish Olympic Committee from October 2025. In April, PKOl president Radosław Piesiewicz announced the sponsorship agreement would be terminated if the next tranche of funds failed to arrive by month’s end, leading to the dismantling of the sponsor neon sign at the committee’s Warsaw headquarters on April 30.
