Polish Sejm Approves Detention of Deputy in Tram Tender Fraud Probe

The Polish Sejm approved the detention and temporary arrest of Deputy Wojciech Król (Civic Coalition) amid an EPPO investigation into fraud and corruption in tram infrastructure modernization tenders in the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolis. The case marks a notable use of the European Public Prosecutor's Office in Polish local infrastructure corruption, though the specific evidence and charges remain undisclosed. This development signals potential political fallout for the ruling coalition and underscores EU-level anti-corruption enforcement in member states.
