Pachucki replaces Marek Chrzanowski, who tendered his resignation as head of the Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) on Tuesday amid claims that he attempted to solicit a bribe from a business tycoon earlier this year.

Pachucki has up to now been deputy head of the KNF. He was responsible for overseeing Poland’s capital and insurance markets.

According to a report in the Gazeta Wyborcza daily, Leszek Czarnecki, one of Poland’s richest men, has alleged that Chrzanowski several months ago offered him favorable treatment in return for millions in financial gain.

Chrzanowski has denied corruption, saying the allegations were part of a scheme to discredit him.
