Investigators summoned Micha\u0142 Wo\u015b to the Regional Prosecutor&#8217;s Office in Pozna\u0144 four times, but the former deputy head of the Ministry of Justice did not appear for any of the summonses. The prosecutor&#8217;s office indicates that the analysis of Wo\u015b&#8217;s behavior provides a picture of deliberate and conscious obstruction of the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor General Waldemar \u017burek forwarded the request for consent to detain and forcibly escort MP Micha\u0142 Wo\u015b to Sejm Speaker W\u0142odzimierz Czarzasty today, according to a statement by the National Prosecutor&#8217;s Office.<\/p>\n<h4>Required Sejm Consent<\/h4>\n<p>The investigation against Wo\u015b concerns irregularities in the supervision of the prison service, and according to the prosecutor&#8217;s office, sufficient evidence has been gathered to justify the suspicion of abuse of powers, including the appointment of the Internal Inspectorate of the Prison Service. As Piotr \u017bytnicki describes in &#8220;Gazeta Wyborcza,&#8221; the inspectorate was supposed to combat crime in the prison environment, but rapid promotions occurred for selected officers who supported the circle of the then-Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro. The prosecutor&#8217;s office believes that some personnel decisions were made in violation of the law.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Wo\u015b agreed to the waiver of formal immunity, which means that an MP cannot be held criminally liable without the consent of the Sejm. However, an MP&#8217;s immunity consists of three elements: formal immunity, material immunity, and the guarantee of personal inviolability.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, consenting to hold an MP criminally liable, including the waiver of formal immunity by the MP themselves, does not lift the protection resulting from personal inviolability. Detaining an MP, also for the purpose of forcibly escorting them to perform procedural activities, requires separate consent from the Sejm, explains the prosecutor&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prosecutor General Waldemar \u017burek submitted a request to Sejm Speaker W\u0142odzimierz Czarzasty for permission to detain and forcibly escort MP Micha\u0142 Wo\u015b to the prosecutor&#8217;s office after he repeatedly failed to appear.
