On April 21, 2023, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) published a press release to inform that the Supreme Administrative Court upheld the KNF’s decision over a penalty on Raiffeisen Bank Polska that was imposed in 2018.
Specifically, back then, the KNF fined the bank PLN 5,000,000 for repeatedly violating Article 10 of the Act of 27 May 2004 on investment funds and management of alternative investment funds for not adequately performing its duties as a depository of an investment fund. The bank subsequently filed an appeal to this decision based on alleged violations of administrative procedures which was then confirmed by the Provincial Administrative Court. Following this court decision, the KNF filed an appeal with the Supreme Administrate Court which now ruled that the fine was legal.
