Poland said it will ask the United States and Hungary what legal basis let fugitive former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro leave Hungary and enter the U.S.
Ziobro, stripped of his passport and wanted in Poland on 26 charges tied to alleged misuse of a crime victims' fund, confirmed on Sunday that he is in the United States.
Warsaw had hoped Hungary's April election would improve its chances of bringing back Ziobro and his former deputy Marcin Romanowski, who both received asylum under Viktor Orban; Romanowski's whereabouts are unclear.
TV Republika said Ziobro will work as a political commentator, while Poland's foreign ministry said it hopes the episode does not damage relations with Washington.
