According to prosecutors, between September 2019 and September 2020 Cezary K. repeatedly threatened the Lewandowskis with the disclosure of confidential tax information related to a company owned by the footballer unless the couple paid him EUR 20 million.

He is also charged with providing confidential information about Lewandowski to German media despite being bound by a confidentiality clause.

In October 2020 and April 2021 K. pleaded not guilty to the charges when questioned. (PAP)
