The investigation of the prosecutor's office will not affect the judgments issued in the court in Liechtenstein – the legal representative of the TIVI Foundation Jarosław Kołkowski told PAP. Zygmunt Solorz's lawyer Radosław L. Kwaśnicki believes that the conflict in the Solorz family causes effects in many jurisdictions.
On Monday, the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw confirmed the information of “Puls Biznesu” about the initiation of an investigation into a loud dispute about succession between Zygmunt Solor and his children, i.e. Tobiasz Solor, and Piotr and Aleksandra Żakami.
– The notification was submitted on July 2, 2025 by Zygmunt Solorz's representative – pointed out the spokesperson of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw Mateusz Martyniuk. The prosecutor's office “initiated an investigation into suspected bringing on August 1 and 2, 2024 in Warsaw Zygmunt Solorz to an unfavorable regulation with its own property in the form of property rights related to the activities of the TIVI Foundation based in Vaduz in Liechtenstein and the Solkomtel Foundation based in Vaduz in Liechtenstein to achieve property benefits through property The victim of the victims of the declarations of precipitating the above regulation with a value greater than ten times of the amount of great value, an act of the property of great value,
The legal representative of the TIVI Foundation and the Solkomtel Foundation, a partner at Andersen, Jarosław Kołkowski, believes that the initiation of an investigation by the Warsaw prosecutor's office will not change the court's judgment in Liechtenstein, which – as he reminded – in May this year. He dismissed the action of Zygmunt Solorz regarding changes in the statute of his Tivi Foundation Foundation, under which his children will take control of Solorz's businesses.
From this judgment, the founder of Polsat appealed, which – as Kołkowski believes – should be considered this year. – The proceedings initiated in Poland, no matter how aggressive, can not change anything about it – said the lawyer. He added that the application submitted to the prosecutor's office is an attempt to influence people who sit on the TIVI Foundation Council today, which has a number of rights. It may affect the organizational issues of the largest companies in the Solorz Empire, i.e. Cyfrowy Polsat, Telewizja Polsat, Polkomtel and Netia.

Kwaśnicki, in a letter sent to the editorial office of PAP pointed out that “the conflict between representatives of the Solorz family (…) implies the effects in many jurisdictions, in particular in Poland, Liechtenstein and in Cyprus. That's why Mr. Zygmunt Solorz is so important, and from the very beginning, Namely, that on 2.8.2024 he was cheated by the nearest group. “
“This situation, in turn, implies the effect in the form of invalidity, i.e. ineffectiveness, changes in the statutes of both foundations with headquarters in Liechtenstein, which our opponents refer to.
