According to Donald Tusk's decision, Poland will not participate alongside Hungary in the lawsuit against Ursula von der Leyen, which was started because of the 20 billion euro Pfizer case.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk has decided that Poland will withdraw from the joint lawsuit with Hungary, which was initiated in the case of the exchange of messages between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, the head of Pfizer, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung reports.

The information was previously confirmed by the Polish government spokesperson when contacted by Politico.

The investigation was originally initiated by the Belgian judicial authorities, and was joined by Hungary and Poland, but after the elections, Tusk withdrew - even though 20 billion euros are involved in the biggest scandal of the European Union.

Based on the report

the president of the European Commission negotiated the agreement regarding the vaccine against the coronavirus with the company via text message, which, according to the accusation, caused serious damage to the budget,

because he made a deal for such a large amount of vaccine that, according to experts, was no longer needed at all on the continent.

As the European Public Prosecutor's Office investigates financial crimes, it can seize phones and other relevant material in the Commission's offices. The Commission previously refused to present the messages, and has not yet responded to the investigation by the Prosecutor's Office.
