Authorities conducted a search of a member of parliament, Łukasz Mejza, in Zielona Góra after a public prosecutor’s order. The move followed findings that the attic space linked to Mejza’s apartment had not been disclosed in his asset declaration.
News outlet Wirtualna Polska reported on the sweep of Mejza’s residence. The case carries a potential prison term of up to eight years for filing a false asset declaration. The investigation stems from a December 2023 report by the same outlet.
Officials noted that Mejza did not list the real estate tied to him in the asset declaration filed after the new term began, specifically the property registered in the land and mortgage register as belonging to him.
– the outlet recalls that Mejza later submitted a correction after questions from journalists, adding that he owned a 59 square meter apartment in Zielona Góra.
Anonymous tip
Following the publication, journalists received an anonymous message suggesting the block where Mejza’s property sits differs from other blocks on the estate. It was stated that only one of the five buildings offers a roof-facing view.
The reporting identified the apartment building as one where Mejza resided on the top floor.

The anonymous source claimed that beyond the kitchen and two rooms, Mejza’s apartment includes a staircase to the attic where the MP would have an office, desk, and bookcase adapted for the space.
The MP has not filed a complaint
On March 8, investigators from the Zielona Góra police department carried out the search at the request of the Public Prosecution Service. Mejza was not present, and his partner allowed access. Police confirmed that the stairs from Mejza’s apartment lead to an attic where the MP’s workspace reportedly exists.
The parliamentarian has not filed a complaint about the search. The material is under review as authorities assess whether the asset declaration may be inaccurate, carrying a potential eight-year prison sentence for misstatements.
“They came with a tape measure and measured the height of the attic.”
Mejza posted a message on the X platform describing the events in a way that differed from the journalists’ reports and even mocked the description of the search.
Dear followers of Polish-language media, Easter is near, but a detail seemed to be missed. There was no “frisk,” only polite officers who measured the attic height with a measuring tool. When they began measuring, it was noted that Polish building standards count only full square meters, and the attic may not contribute to the official total. The declared apartment size covers total square meters, not a room-by-room breakdown, and that total remains accurate. The post also clarifies that today’s actions by authorities are separate from the March 8 events, and it extends a wish for reconciliation during the holiday season to those who covered the story with skepticism.
– the message concluded with a short note of apology for any misunderstanding.
