A resignation letter from the town clerk arrived last week, signaling a formal step away from the role. Once the document is received by the appropriate authorities, it will be promptly handed to the city hall in the capital. This was confirmed by the spokesperson for the city government, who stated that the letter would be processed immediately upon its arrival and that the resignation would be accepted by the capital’s leadership as soon as it is presented.
The information about the resignation was conveyed through the lawyer representing the former official. He indicated that the resignation has been filed and that the next official act is for the president of Warsaw to acknowledge and sign off on the decision, completing the formal process of departure.
Włodzimierz Karpiński, who previously held the position of finance minister, has been involved in an investigation that also touches other high-ranking figures in the financial administration. The investigation centers on contracts valued at hundreds of millions of PLN tied to the municipal cleaning sector in Warsaw. In addition, a financial gain of several million PLN has been alleged in connection with the events under scrutiny. Earlier in the investigation, a former deputy finance minister faced a similar line of inquiry, and both individuals were placed under temporary arrest as authorities pursued their cases.
In mid-March, a court in Katowice ruled on the detention aspect of Karpiński’s case, concluding that the complaint against the detention did not warrant rejection at that time. The legal proceedings continue as authorities pursue further facts and testimonies related to the broader investigation.
