Poland Moves to Try Central Bank Chief in Court for Alleged Financial Misconduct

The ruling coalition accuses the bank's head of actions that could harm the nation's financial interests, sparking a potentially lengthy legal battle.

Poland's pro-European Union coalition has initiated a process to bring the central bank chief, Adam Glapiński, before a special court over allegations of acting against national financial interests.
Glapiński is accused of unlawful funding of the state deficit, weakening the national currency, and approving hefty bonuses for himself, among other charges.
The motion, filed by 191 coalition lawmakers, could result in Glapiński being stripped of his post and banned from all state positions.
Critics argue the move threatens the independence of the central bank and could destabilize the Polish state and its economy.
Observers note the procedure to try Glapiński before the State Tribunal could take up to a year, with past cases showing mixed outcomes.
