According to spokeswoman Anna Adamiak, the main topic was how the two sides could cooperate to identify and secure assets that could be used to compensate defrauded customers. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek said the goal is to return as much money as possible to clients of the platform. ## Secured assets may not all go to victims So far about PLN 125 million has been secured in the proceedings (11 samochodów i 125 mln zł zabezpieczeń.

Adamiak said, however, that some of these assets are linked to other strands of the case and do not come from gains made at the expense of Zondacrypto clients. Not all secured property can therefore be earmarked for creditors. Adamiak also noted that criminal proceedings and bankruptcy proceedings are separate procedures with different aims. Prosecutors are still determining which assets fall into which category. ## Źródła - 11 luksusowych samochodów zabezpieczonych przez policję. Należały do podejrzanej ws.
