Warsaw has recalled the Polish Eurocorps commander because of espionage investigations. As the Ministry of Defense has now announced, "after new information about the officer," the services initiated a "control investigation" into General Jaroslaw Gromadzinski's access to secret information.

Gromadzinski took over leadership of the Eurocorps in June 2023 - around a year and a half after Poland joined the multinational force with headquarters in Strasbourg as the sixth member.
