Poland’s ambassador to France gets charged for fraudulent MBA
Jan R., detained shortly before the Christmas holidays, faces four criminal charges in the ongoing Collegium Humanum case, according to Polish Radio. Prosecutors allege he paid over 9,000 zloty ($2,506) to the university’s rector in exchange for a falsified Executive MBA (EMBA) diploma, which he later used when applying for a position on a bank supervisory board.
The diplomat was detained earlier this month by Poland’s Central Anti-Corruption Bureau and has been temporarily relieved of his duties at the Polish Embassy in Paris.
The case involves several other suspects, including former Law and Justice (PiS) lawmaker Maks K., Paula G., and businessman Pawel P. Prosecutors allege Maks K. claimed influence within Poland’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education to facilitate the falsification of a psychology degree for Paula G. Paula G. is charged with assisting the rector in issuing the fake diploma, while Pawel P. is accused of providing financial benefits to the rector for fictitious EMBA diplomas on three occasions.
In total, four suspects face 15 charges. If convicted, those involved could face prison sentences of up to 10 years.
Collegium Humanum, the private institution at the center of the investigation, was rebranded in mid-2024 as the Varsovia School of Business and Applied Sciences.
