More news has emerged from the Polish sports gambling saga that previously features the Polish minister for sports Miroslaw Drzewiecki resigning over corruption allegations with major sports bambling companies. The finger is also pointed at Zbigniew Chlebowki who is another top Polish minister as part of the controversy. Taped recordings have emerged of Chlebowski and Polish businessmen discussing the new gambling tax laws and asking Chlebowski to influence the law in favour of the gambling companies. Chlebowski has since resigned from his political post.

Poland is gearing up for the Euro 2012 football tournament and wants to ensure the government receives a maximum revenue from all the gambling and sports betting that will be taking place. With the allegations and resignations of two top Polish ministers over corruption, the ruling Polish political party is struggling with voters trust and trying to balance new legislation that balances both business and it’s people.
