Zbigniew Ziobro, the former Polish Justice Minister, has reportedly fled to the USA with his wife, Patrycja Kotecka, after being sought by Polish authorities for alleged corruption and misuse of the Pegasus spyware system. His move to the US follows a period of asylum in Hungary, granted by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The new Hungarian government plans to initiate extradition proceedings against him. Reports indicate that Ziobro received a visa approved by former President Donald Trump, despite opposition from U.S. officials. The Polish government is investigating the illegal use of Pegasus spyware to surveil political opponents, with significant implications for political accountability in Poland. Ziobro denies the allegations, claiming they are politically motivated. Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated it lacks information on his current location, as his passport has been revoked.
