Orlen notifies prosecutors over previous board's flawed $1.2B contract

Polish state-controlled energy firm Orlen has filed a criminal notice against its previous management over a long-term agreement that risked a $1.2 billion penalty. The move follows a pattern of post-election accountability actions by the current government against prior Orlen leadership. The case signals ongoing political-legal scrutiny of state enterprises in Poland, with potential implications for corporate governance and investor confidence.
