Polish ex-minister flees Hungary to the US after PM Magyar says country won’t protect people wanted elsewhere

Zbigniew Ziobro has been accused in Poland of leading an organised criminal enterprise and abuse of power, which he denies

Poland’s former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro, wanted on several criminal charges in his home country, has fled Hungary to the United States, he confirmed on Sunday, after being granted asylum from former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán’s government last year.

“I am in the United States,” Ziobro told rightwing Polish broadcaster Republika. “I arrived yesterday, and this is my third time travelling around the country,” he said.
