Polish Olympic Committee chief detained over links to collapsed crypto firm

Radosław Piesiewicz, president of the Polish Olympic Committee (PKOl), has been detained as part of a criminal investigation into Zondacrypto, a collapsed cryptocurrency firm that was a major sponsor of Poland's Olympic team. The investigation, led by Poland's justice minister Waldemar Żurek, alleges that Piesiewicz received a €40,000 watch and other gifts from Zondacrypto's former head, Przemysław Kral, in exchange for influencing regulatory actions on behalf of the firm. Zondacrypto collapsed in April after losing customer trust, resulting in estimated client losses of 350 million zloty (€81.4 million). Piesiewicz denies the allegations, claiming he purchased the watch himself. The case involves potential corruption and fraudulent activities linked to Zondacrypto's sponsorship of the Polish Olympic team.
