Radio Zet station got half a million fine for publishing “disinformation”

The National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) has issued a PLN 476,000 fine to a Radio Zet station for publishing “disinformation” that was “contrary to the Polish national interest” because it suggested that Ukraine and the US had lost trust in Poland. The station denies the accusation.

The fine was imposed in connection with the information broadcast on Radio Zet on December 22, 2022. On that day, Radio Zet had reported that Volodymyr Zelensky had traveled through Poland without the knowledge of the Polish security services. 

The spokesman for Poland’s security services, Stanisław Żaryn denied Radio Zet’s report.
