Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that a cryptocurrency company with Russian ties financed political forces in the country and could have supported Karol Nawrocki's presidential campaign. This is reported by AP, writes UNN.
Details
According to Tusk, the company in question is Zondacrypto, which, he claims, received funds linked to Russian entities.
The source of this company's financial success is not only Russian money, linked to the so-called "Bratva," but also to Russian special services
Political context
Tusk made the statement ahead of a vote on overturning President Karol Nawrocki's veto on cryptocurrency market regulation bills.
The Prime Minister believes that blocking these initiatives may indicate lobbying for the interests of a specific company. According to him, Zondacrypto financed politicians of the former ruling party "Law and Justice," as well as representatives of the far-right "Confederation."
