25 people charged. Continuation of the CBA operation at the Ostrołęka Power Plant

On Thursday, the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau detained 25 individuals linked to abuses at the Ostrołęka power plant. The prosecutor's office has charged them with mismanagement related to the failed construction of a coal block. The allegations primarily involve abuse of power and negligence causing significant financial damage. No suspects admitted guilt, and some provided explanations. The investigation, ongoing for several years, concerns investments from 2018-2019, with damages estimated over one billion PLN. The project, Ostrołęka C, was halted in early 2020 due to financial concerns, leading to significant losses for the involved companies. The Supreme Audit Office criticized the management's decisions regarding the project, prompting the case to be referred to the prosecutor's office.
