Horała: former FM Szczurek suspected of criminal wrongdoing

 Marcin Horała (PiS), the chairman of the Polish parliament’s special VAT investigation committee, wants to notify the Prosecutor’s Office about the suspicion that former Minister of Finance Mateusz Szczurek was involved in criminal wrongdoing while he was in office. According to Horała, Szczurek may be responsible for losses for the State Treasury amounting to up to PLN 8 billion. In his opinion, Szczurek failed to perform his duties by preventing legislative work on tightening the tax system.
