The prosecutor's office accused Glapiak, deputy chairman of the National Broadcasting Council from September 2022 that she appropriated the Longines La Grande Classique watch purchased from public funds worth nearly 6,000 zloty. The accessory, which according to plans was to be presented as a gift for a foreign delegation, allegedly went to Glapiak privately. The politician categorically denied the allegations, describing them as “absurd” and accusing about political motivation.
Although the person herself does not comment on the details of the case, the prosecutor's proceedings questioned her professional future. In the event of a conviction, she may face up to 10 years in prison. The National Broadcasting Council, whose Glapiak was a deputy, and from today the chairwoman, has not yet issued an official statement in this matter.
