Polish prosecutors have formally charged an individual, identified as Romana Ż., with participating in an organized criminal group and allegedly misappropriating 7.8 million zlotys ($2.1 million) in user funds from cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto.

The suspect was detained on September 5 over concerns they might flee, and subsequently questioned by prosecutors. Romana Ż. denied the charges and provided a statement, according to Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office.

Prosecutors allege that Romana Ż. acted with others to misappropriate funds entrusted to the exchange by making unauthorized changes to computer records and interfering with the processing and transmission of exchange data.
