Former Polish anti-corruption agent paid to surveil journalist for crypto firm

Artur Chodziński, a former CBA officer, allegedly received €15,000 monthly from Zondacrypto boss Przemysław Kral to produce reports on a journalist covering the firm, including sensitive data and offers to arrange meetings with politicians. The claim, based on WP and TVN24 reporting, is unconfirmed by official proceedings. It signals potential abuse of state intelligence connections for corporate intimidation, raising rule-of-law concerns in Poland.
