Poland's PiS party members and crime [346]
There are lots of examples, most of it at a local level. In Slupsk, when they elected a new President, they found that the city's already depleted and mismanaged coffers were being spent on some fairly off things, including honoraria for local PiS party members.
This case is well enough known but very worth reminding people about
The deputy leader of Poland's opposition party, and former head of the Anti Corruption Bureau, has been convicted of abuse of power and sentenced to three years in jail following an undercover operation that saw officers from his department pay bribes in a sting designed to flush out corrupt officials dealing with planning permission for land use.
Mariusz Kamiński, representing Białystok as MP for Law and Justice (PiS), was sentenced on March 30, by a judge at the district court in Warsaw. The penalty - three years in jail, and a ten-year ban on holding public office - was higher than the three-year suspended sentence and four year ban requested by the prosecution.

Among those that landed in incredibly well-paid job was some unknown mediocre artist, Jan Maria Tomaszewski, who happened to be Kaczynskis own cousin, Adam Hofman(spokesperson and a spindoctor)'s wife who was hired at KGHM and remained there for 2 years on paid sick leave and Jacek Sasins(deputy chief of staff to president Kaczynski) family landing all kind of jobs wherever PiS won elections. There is also the entire SKOK gate where they cast an protective umbrella from any supervision over a bank-like enterprises who finance lavishly PiS propaganda outlets. They managed to create a staggering 3bln PLN losses
