Olympian’s frozen crypto payment adds to Poland’s growing political scandal

Prime Minister Donald Tusk accused the company of ties to Russian-linked funds and claimed opposition politicians benefited, sparking investigations. A failed attempt to override President Karol Nawrocki’s veto on a crypto-asset market bill has delayed EU MiCA rule implementation.
