WARSAW (Reuters) - The head of Poland's Supreme Audit Office said on Tuesday he had asked prosecutors to launch a criminal investigation against Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and other top government officials over last year's presidential election.

However, it was unclear whether prosecutors would launch such an investigation. The prosecutors' office in Warsaw was not immediately available for comment, while Morawiecki shrugged off the move, saying the government had acted constitutionally.
