Poland's parliament voted 240-202 Friday to pass a sanctions bill granting the interior minister authority to freeze cryptocurrency and bank funds of individuals on a national list before court review, Bitcoin Magazine reported. The measure applies to people designated under Poland's sanctions framework.
The law permits asset seizure in advance of judicial oversight, with court appeals available afterward. The narrow margin of passage reflects parliamentary division over the expanded enforcement powers.
