The prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into Michał Kołodziejczak

The Warsaw District Prosecutor's Office has initiated an investigation into the alleged provision of unspecified narcotics to two individuals, following accusations against former Deputy Minister Michał Kołodziejczak by former colleagues. They claim he exhibited aggressive behavior and encouraged drug use. Kołodziejczak denies these allegations, labeling them as slander. The prosecutor's office requested contact information and recordings from the media outlet that reported the accusations but faced refusal due to journalistic confidentiality. Consequently, they are seeking to identify the individuals involved through other means. The prosecutor indicated that if necessary, they may request the court to lift journalistic secrecy, although past practices suggest this may not be granted. Following the allegations, Kołodziejczak was suspended from his party membership and filed a complaint with the ABW regarding potential crimes against him.
