Gdańsk prosecutors want to question President Karol Nawrocki as a witness in the investigation into the acquisition of Jerzy Ż.’s studio flat. The move follows the questioning of a notary and the collection of land-register documents. It is a significant evidence-gathering step, but it is neither a charge nor a finding of liability against the president.
TVN24 reported that a letter was sent to the Presidential Chancellery on 9 November. Prosecutors did not set a fixed date, leaving the timing to the head of state. The questioning would most likely take place at the president’s place of work.
The Gdańsk-Śródmieście District Prosecutor’s Office opened the investigation on 13 June 2025. It concerns suspected fraud allegedly harming Jerzy Ż. between 2012 and 2017. Prosecutors are examining, among other issues, whether he may have been misled about full payment for the flat and an intention to provide care. Those are the matters under investigation, rather than settled conclusions.
Seeking testimony directly from a person connected with the transaction shows that prosecutors are continuing to assemble the factual record. Its importance should be kept in proportion: a witness interview may help establish the circumstances, but it does not decide how the transaction unfolded or whether anyone bears criminal responsibility.
TVN24 also reported that prosecutors had previously declined to open proceedings in seven other strands of complaints linked to the flat’s acquisition; some were judged not to meet the threshold of an offence and others were separated because of limitation periods. The supplied report contains no response from the Presidential Chancellery to the current letter.
