The article reports that Poland's National Prosecution Office (Prokuratura Krajowa) may be required to return housing allowances paid to 38 prosecutors between 2016 and 2018. These payments were intended for prosecutors assigned to work outside their home offices but were given to those who remained based in Warsaw, where the National Prosecution Office is located. The practice began after the reorganization of the prosecution system in March 2016, which dissolved the Supreme Prosecution Office and created the National Prosecution Office under then-Prosecutor General Bogdan Święczkowski. Key figures benefiting from these payments include former Prosecutor General Bogdan Święczkowski, current Constitutional Tribunal President, and others associated with the Ad Vocem association linked to former Prosecutor General Zbigniew Ziobro. The issue arose because there were no legal provisions at the time to prevent such payments, though attempts were made later to legalize them through regulations and legislative changes.

The Polish prosecutor's office is investigating whether 38 prosecutors received illegal housing allowances during the tenure of former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro.
