This is a beautiful 400 m² property in Krakow. The outside does not show anything.
But inside, the places are very much like a hotel run by a mafia man in the city, at the head of prostitution networks. This is what the journalists of the Polish private channel TVN have discovered. And the owner of the premises is none other than the president of the country's Court of Accounts.

Marian Banas is a trusted man of Polish leaders. Finance Minister PiS, Law and Justice, this summer, he has the reputation of being a man of integrity. His image takes a big hit,

Moreover, according to the TVN channel, he sold this property a month ago just before being elected head of the Court of Accounts. Willingness to remove a compromising matter or simple coincidence of the calendar. For the moment, the principal concerned speaks of " slander " and " defamation ".

A month after the resignation of the Deputy Minister of Justice, involved in a campaign of hatred against judges, this new case still taints the majority. But in the polls for the next legislative elections, the party still remains largely in the lead.
