Poland has formally requested the extradition of former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro from the United States, Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek announced Thursday. The extradition request, encompassing an arrest warrant, has been submitted to American authorities. Żurek explained a delay in filing the request, stating it was due to a linguistic analysis to ensure accuracy. He confirmed knowledge of the request not being delivered in July citing this review process. The nature of the charges prompting the extradition request were not immediately disclosed. This development marks a significant escalation in legal pressure against the prominent political figure.
