Prosecutor General Waldemar \u017bureks has asked the Sejm to detain and forcibly bring PiS MP Micha\u0142 Wo\u015b to the prosecutor’s office after he repeatedly failed to appear for questioning. . **Body:** <\/p>\n
On Thursday afternoon, reports emerged that Prosecutor General Waldemar \u017burek submitted a motion to the Marshal of the Sejm for the detention and forcible conveyance of PiS MP Micha\u0142 Wo\u015b to the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor General spokeswoman Anna Adamiak stated that the MP failed to appear four times when summoned by the prosecutor in a case concerning abuse of power during his tenure as deputy justice minister dealing with Prison Service matters. The prosecutor deemed only one of the MP’s absences justified, leading to a February motion to lift Wo\u015b’s immunity, which the MP formally waived himself in May.<\/p>\n
Wo\u015b addressed the Thursday motion on the platform X, claiming he was in “constant contact with the prosecutor’s office” regarding the Prison Service case. He emphasized that he received the first summons, scheduled for May 28, within the statutory deadline on May 29, noting that the media had been informed of the matter beforehand.<\/p>\n
The MP stated that for the three subsequent summons dates, he filed a request under the Code of Criminal Procedure to conduct the procedural acts in Silesia or Warsaw. He noted that he awaited the prosecutor’s decision until receiving a refusal on the day the prosecutor announced the desire to bring him in handcuffs, adding that he accepted all police documents and had no knowledge of any telephone calls from the prosecutor.<\/p>\n
Wo\u015b stated that he submitted five letters to the prosecutor’s office in the meantime, insisting on a swift judicial resolution because “even the political Iustitia will not uphold such nonsense.” He accused \u017burek and Tusk of staging a spectacle to distract from other issues, adding that they will be held accountable for exploiting the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n
Adamiak stated in a press release that Wo\u015b’s first absence was deemed justified because he received the summons on May 29, but he received summonses for three subsequent dates on June 22 without providing any circumstances that would justify his failure to appear under the Code of Criminal Procedure.<\/p>\n
During a subsequent press conference, she added that the MP did not indicate any circumstances requiring procedural actions to be carried out in another unit. She stated that the MP simultaneously avoided contact with the prosecutor, failed to respond to telephone calls, and consistently neglected his duty to appear.<\/p>\n
The charges the prosecutor’s office intends to bring against Wo\u015b cover the period from February 2021 to November 2023, during which he served as deputy minister of justice.<\/p>\n
According to Adamiak, the case involves issuing personal orders granting Prison Service officer ranks to four individuals and submitting requests to the President of Poland to award general ranks to two of them\u2014Zbyszko N. and Maciej K.\u2014despite failing to meet statutory conditions for early promotion. Although Wo\u015b submitted the requests, neither was granted.<\/p>\n
The investigation also concerns the unwarranted consent given in December 2022 to appoint Zbyszko N., who was not a Prison Service officer, as an advisor to the Director General of the Prison Service, and ordering his appointment to enter service at the Central Management Board on the highest appointed position despite only meeting conditions for preparatory service.<\/p>\n
