A recent report highlights attempts by authorities to examine Marian Banaś’s conduct, with a request directed to the Public Prosecution Service to determine accountability. During a televised discussion on wPolsce.pl, Prosecutor Michał Ostrowski, Deputy Prosecutor General, discussed the development. Shortly after, another outlet noted that a request to waive the immunity of the President of the Supreme Audit Office was forwarded to Adam Bodnar for review.
The narrative broadened to recount Banaś’s financial activities connected to a well-known matter involving his Kraków residence, where lavish rooms were reportedly prepared for short stays. Observers view this moment as a potential test for the new parliamentary majority. To date, while the ruling party has publicly disagreed with Banaś, it has not brought the motion to a vote, which meant Banaś remained unindicted.
As reported, Banaś could face multiple charges, including irregularities in asset declarations made during his tenure as Deputy Minister and later Minister of Finance under Beata Szydło, as well as in his role as head of the Supreme Audit Office.
The initial effort to lift Banaś’s immunity dates back to 2021. A member of the ruling party’s leadership, who asked to remain anonymous, commented on the issue in a media interview, suggesting that a broader reshuffle of appointments might come before Banaś is held to account.
Another angle discussed in coverage focuses on potential shifts in state appointments tied to PiS influence, and how such moves might intersect with Banaś’s status. The material underscores ongoing debates around oversight, accountability, and political strategy in Poland’s higher offices.
