An investigative report by Radio ZET revealed that a complaint has been filed with the prosecutor's office against former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, suspecting him of causing substantial financial damage to the State Treasury. This investigation arises from the government's decision to import hundreds of thousands of tons of coal between 2022 and 2023. Specifically, the complaint alleges that through Morawiecki's directives, the Strategic Reserves Agency (RARS) was tasked with bringing in over 700,000 tons of coal for individual consumers, but the coal has reportedly not reached its intended recipients.

Morawiecki's decision to establish a coal reserve in May 2022 was purportedly to address energy supply issues amid growing demand. The RARS was allocated a budget of 3.4 billion PLN for purchasing and distributing this vital resource. Despite substantial financial investments, it has been reported that the coal remains stuck in RARS storage facilities, totaling approximately 753,000 tons as per agency expert assessments from December 2025. This situation raises questions about the agency's management and the accountability of government officials involved in the transaction.

The implications of this controversy extend beyond just Morawiecki, as it potentially undermines public trust in governmental oversight and planning during a critical energy crisis. If proven guilty, this case could lead to severe consequences for Morawiecki and possibly trigger a political fallout within the ruling party. As the case develops, it will be essential to monitor how it influences the political landscape in Poland, particularly in light of upcoming elections and public opinion on government efficacy and transparency.
