Polish MP allegedly met crypto boss in Monaco, then defended firm in parliament

Konfederacja party lawmaker Przemysław Wipler allegedly visited Monaco on July 17, 2025, to meet with Przemysław Kral, the head of the cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto, who resides there. Wipler was accompanied by his business partner, Michał Krzymowski. The two reportedly stayed at the Le Meridien Beach Plaza hotel, where rooms can cost between 2,000 and 7,000 Polish zloty per night.

Just days after returning from Monaco, Wipler publicly defended the struggling crypto exchange in the Polish parliament. He questioned the blocking of Polish users' access to Zonda, stating, "Why did you illegally and unlawfully block Poles who use cryptocurrency exchanges, in this case the Zonda exchange, so that they could log in and confirm their identity using mObywatel? This is absurd!"

According to money.pl, entities associated with Wipler and Krzymowski began receiving funds shortly after this visit. The report indicates that these associated entities collectively received 160,000 euros from Zondacrypto. Money.pl detailed several financial transactions and provided specific dates for the transfers.

The report also suggests that Kral, the head of Zonda, may have shared proposed amendments to the crypto-assets bill with Wipler via an online messenger after the Monaco meeting. However, following a scandal surrounding the exchange, Wipler reportedly deleted his contact history, according to money.pl. When questioned by money.pl, Wipler denied receiving any input on the crypto-assets bill from Kral or anyone else, and stated he was not involved in the legislative process for these regulations.
