Poland drafts reform of property crimes: no punishment for risk, new abuse of trust offense

Poland is considering a reform of its criminal code on property crimes, proposing to decriminalize negligent risk-taking unless it causes actual harm, raise thresholds for significant and large property values, and introduce a new offense of abuse of trust. Full compensation for damage would enable extraordinary mitigation of penalties. The reform signals a shift toward a more lenient, harm-based approach to economic crimes, potentially affecting corporate accountability and legal certainty.
