Party leader, PM Donald Tusk

Major opposition Law and Justice Party has informed the prosecution about the alleged illegal financing of the ruling Civic Platform party's election campaign.

Civic Platform is suspected of illegally using the European People's Party congress they hosted in Warsaw as part of their election campaign, Mateusz Martyniuk, spokesman for the prosecution told Polish Radio: 'Among other things there is a suspicion that they accepted funds for their European Parliament election campaign from a source other than the Civic Platform election campaign fund,' he said.

The Civic Platform says the EPP congres in Warsaw inaugurated the election campaign for the whole EPP in Europe, not specifically for Civic Platform in Poland.
