>Polish prosecutors, counterintelligence, and tax authorities are investigating a Warsaw-based company that received nearly 100 million złoty (about $25 million) from a South Korean defense contractor shortly after multi-billion-dollar arms deals were signed between Warsaw and Seoul.
>The agreements, first signed in 2022 under then-Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak, have since been amended and expanded. Current Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz signed further agreements last week covering additional deliveries and the local production of K2 tanks. The total value of these orders is approaching $7 billion.
>Prosecutor’s office spokesperson Mateusz Martyniuk confirmed the criminal probe to tvn24.pl, saying it concerns “the issuance by a Polish company to a Korean defense industry company of two VAT invoices for multi-million amounts for advisory services.”
>An official familiar with the case told tvn24.pl that “the Koreans transferred around one hundred million to the Polish company for advisory services. We are now carefully verifying where – or rather to whom – the money from the Polish company went under subsequent agreements.”
Looks like you can take the communism out of a nation, but you can't take the corruption out. Now it's clear why Poland wanted to conclude their deals with Korea quickly and without a public tender.
