In January, the prosecutor's office applied for property security over Zbigniew Ziobro's houses for the third time. Earlier attempts ended in failure – the court twice rejected the applications, citing formal deficiencies.
In December 2025, the clerk of the Land and Mortgage Register Department justified the refusal, among others: lack of description of the receivable and unclear indication of the mortgage creditor.

Decision in the case of Zbigniew Ziobro
The prosecutor's office investigation showed that the value of the potential crimes accused of the former minister could be as much as PLN 143.164 million – this is the amount the prosecutor's office wanted to establish a compulsory mortgage for. The security is intended to protect funds in the event of possible financial penalties.

In the justification for previous refusals, the court also indicated that the applications concerned securing the same amount on different properties under the same title. In such a situation, the regulations require the division of the security into partial mortgages, which was not included in the documentation.
Finally, after correcting the formalities, the District Court in Rawa Mazowiecka agreed to the prosecutor's request and established a compulsory mortgage on Zbigniew Ziobro's property.
The case of Zbigniew Ziobro
Ziobro is under investigation by the National Prosecutor's Office, which accuses him of leading an organized criminal group and using his position for criminal activities.
Ziobro allegedly committed 26 crimes, including: give orders to his subordinates to break the law in order to provide selected entities with subsidies from the Justice Fund, interfere in the preparation of competition offers and allow funds to be awarded to unauthorized entities. A meeting of the District Court for Warsaw-Mokotów is scheduled for January 15, which is to address the prosecutor's request to detain Ziobro for three months.
