POLAND'S tax office have frozen the bank accounts of the Polish Football Association (PZPN) due to unpaid taxes. The move comes just three days before the PZPN is due to elect a new head to avoid sanctions from world body Fifa and the potential loss of Poland's right to co-host Euro 2012 with Ukraine.
Deputy head of PZPN Eugeniusz Kolator confirmed the association's accounts had been blocked and said a transfer of slightly more than 8.8 million zlotys (£1.8million) in taxes due was made yesterday afternoon.
"The liability stands at slightly above 8.8million. Today, unforced, the PZPN made a transfer to the tax office," Kolator said. "The association's liquidity is not under threat."
Kolator declined to say whether the tax decision was linked to the election.
Earlier yesterday, tax office spokeswoman Agniszka Zukowska told TVN24 news channel the tax office had frozen nearly 10 million zlotys (£2million) to secure PZPN's tax liabilities. The PZPN will hold an election on Thursday to replace incumbent head Michal Listkiewicz.
