The District Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Warsaw, Poland, will \u201cinitiate an investigation into failure to fulfill incumbent obligations and abuse of granted powers by persons obliged under the act and the agreement to engage in the business activity of PKP CARGO SA in the period from 25 July 2022, to 31 July 2023\u201d. The investigation will focus on former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, PKP Cargo’s former management and the so-called coal decision.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The term coal decision concerns an initiative taken by Morawiecki and his government in July 2022 to give priority to coal transport on the railways until early October that year. This led to PKP Cargo cancelling other contracts, which led to significant financial losses. The Polish operator, now under new (temporary) management, appealed to Warsaw\u2019s prosecutor’s office<\/a> to hold Morawiecki and PKP Cargo’s former management accountable.<\/p>\n
