Poland Asks US to Extradite Former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro Over Criminal Charges

Poland has asked the United States to detain and extradite former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro over multiple criminal charges. Polish prosecutors say Ziobro is accused of offenses including leading an organized criminal group, abuse of office, and misappropriation of public funds. The extradition request covers a subset of the alleged crimes in the indictment. Ziobro denies all wrongdoing, calling the case politically motivated. The request will be assessed under the Poland–US extradition treaty before any court review
