Reports surfaced on Sunday regarding Zbigniew Ziobro, the former Polish Minister of Justice, leaving Hungary for the United States. However, no official confirmation of his whereabouts has been provided by Ziobro himself, nor his legal representatives or political associates.
Zbigniew Ziobro’s Alleged Stay in the USA
Initial claims suggested that Ziobro has been accommodated in a New Jersey apartment, supposedly lent by Tomasz Adamek, a retired professional boxer. Adamek vehemently denied any connection, stating, “We have never had such contact… These are false claims.”
The boxer clarified, “I could invite Donald Trump to my home if he were willing to visit, but that is impossible.” He admitted he couldn’t understand why he was connected to the rumors regarding Ziobro, emphasizing his commitment to honesty.
Responses from Various Figures
- Zbigniew Stonoga: Stonoga mentioned on social media that he had “confirmed information” about the supposed connection between Adamek and Ziobro. He noted that Adamek initially acknowledged these rumors before later denying them.
- Waldemar Żurek, Minister of Justice: He stated that if Ziobro is indeed in the US, they would seek his extradition. However, he mentioned that there is still no definitive proof that Ziobro has left the Schengen Area.
Official Statements Regarding Extradition
The National Prosecutor’s Office has also confirmed that they have not yet verified whether Ziobro left the Schengen Area. “We have information indicating he has arrived at a US airport, but it does not necessarily imply he is escaping Polish justice,” the prosecutor stated.
Confirmation from Zbigniew Ziobro
A few hours after the initial reports, Ziobro addressed his situation on Telewizja Republika, confirming his presence in the United States. “I arrived in the United States yesterday. This is my third time visiting,” he stated.
The ongoing coverage demonstrates the intrigue surrounding Zbigniew Ziobro’s travel and potential legal implications. As more information becomes available, stakeholders remain attentive.
