Prosecutors Take Over Piesiewicz Investigation Over Alleged Invoice Irregularities

In brief

• Poland's National Prosecutor's Office has taken over the Piesiewicz probe from the Gdańsk regional prosecutors.
• Suspected unreliable VAT invoices worth about 9.3 million zloty were issued in 2022–2024 for services never performed.
• Piesiewicz was detained in August in a corruption case linked to Zondacrypto and faces possible prison time.

Investigation moved to national level

The National Prosecutor's Office has taken over the case from the regional prosecutor's office in Gdańsk, according to a decision dated 28 October 2026 (Zmiana w śledztwie w sprawie Radosława Piesiewicza. Jest komunikat – Przegląd Sportowy) (Prokuratura z nowym komunikatem w sprawie Piesiewicza – SportoweFakty). The move covers suspected irregularities linked to the Polish Olympic Committee, the Polish Basketball Association and the Polish Basketball League SA.

Alleged invoices

Prosecutors suspect that P.H.U. RADAM, a company tied to Piesiewicz, issued unreliable VAT invoices in 2022–2024 to the Polish Basketball Association and the Polish Basketball League SA. The invoices total roughly 9.3 million zloty and relate to commercial brokerage services that were never carried out.

The probe also examines whether the two basketball bodies paid the same roughly 9.3 million zloty for those unperformed services, and whether tax was underpaid as a result.

Earlier detention and the wider case

Piesiewicz was detained at the end of August on suspicion of corruption connected to the Zondacrypto affair, and further allegations involving VAT fraud were later added. Reports say he could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

What comes next

The national prosecutors now lead the investigation, which means the case is being handled at the highest level of the prosecution service. No new charges or court dates were included in the announcement.
