The Polish Supreme Court dismissed the election committee's complaint against the Electoral Commission's rejection of its financial report. The Commission found violations because the committee accepted donations exceeding double the minimum wage via bank transfers that did not originate from the donors' own accounts. The Court ruled that such transfers do not constitute legal 'transfers' under campaign finance law, which require direct movement of funds from the donor's account to the committee's account to ensure transparency.
