WARSAW (Reuters) - Former Polish transport minister Slawomir Nowak was convicted on Thursday of failing to disclose while in government that he owned a luxury Swiss wristwatch, and a judge fined him $6,000.

Members of parliament and ministers in Poland must file income declarations and reveal belongings with a value exceeding 10,000 zlotys (1,908 pounds), a transparency measure meant to ensure public servants do not use their office for personal gain.
