Politicians exposed up to 30,000 citizens to losses of hundreds of millions of zloty in a cryptocurrency scandal.

Omissions

• While around 30,000 users were affected, Polish prosecutors had only identified several hundred confirmed victims by the time of the session (as of April 21, 2026).
• The exact figure of losses is 350 million zloty (not just 'hundreds of millions').
• The scandal involves Zondacrypto specifically, and the context includes allegations about the Polish president's veto of cryptocurrency regulation prior to the scandal emerging.
• Sources were published shortly before or around the session date (April 27, 2026), meaning the MEP likely had access to this information.
