Żurek on the investigation regarding Ostrołęka. "It was known that coal-fired power plants would be closed"

The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau detained 25 individuals linked to the Ostrołęka power plant investigation, which involves actions detrimental to state-owned energy companies. The inquiry focuses on decisions made during 2018-2019 regarding the construction and subsequent demolition of a coal-fired power plant, despite knowledge of Poland's shift away from coal. Allegations include failure to fulfill obligations and exceeding authority in approving the project without secured financing, leading to significant financial losses. The prosecutor's office is also investigating potential misconduct by public officials and conducting searches related to two individuals identified as MPs. The project has faced scrutiny since its inception in 2009, with various changes in ownership and technology, ultimately leading to the dismantling of the coal block in 2021.
