Zbigniew Ziobro, Poland’s former justice minister, says he has travelled from Hungary to the United States despite facing prosecution in Poland over alleged abuse of power. Ziobro, a prominent figure in the Law and Justice party-led government that ruled Poland from 2015 to 2023, is currently sought at home as part of the legal case. Polish prosecutors say they are investigating whether he received assistance in evading legal liability. The reports describe prosecutors looking into how he left the country and whether any third parties helped him avoid accountability.
The outlets agree on the core timeline and claims: Ziobro makes the statement about his travel to the U.S., and Polish authorities respond by launching inquiries into possible evasion support. The coverage does not add new details about the alleged assistance or the specific steps taken so far in the investigation, focusing instead on the prosecutors’ stated intent to determine whether his departure was facilitated.
