Judge Anna Ptaszek, the court\u2019s spokesperson for criminal matters, confirmed the ruling is final and cannot be appealed.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the court denied a separate request for an arrest warrant targeting the former minister in the event of his presence in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<h4>Lack of Evidence on Location<\/h4>\n<p>Judge Ptaszek explained that the EAW request was rejected because the prosecution failed to demonstrate that Ziobro is currently residing in or intending to travel to any European Union member state.
