The Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office has closed two segments of an investigation into an alleged coup, citing no criminal activity regarding the revocation of parliamentary mandates and political incitement allegations. <\/p>\n
On June 25, 2024, the Warsaw District Prosecutor\u2019s Office discontinued two threads of an investigation into an alleged coup. The probe, initially initiated by Deputy Prosecutor General Micha\u0142 Ostrowski in February 2025, involved accusations against high-ranking officials including Prime Minister Donald Tusk.<\/p>\n
The closed threads concerned the July 2023 revocation of parliamentary mandates for Mariusz Kami\u0144ski and Maciej W\u0105sik, as well as alleged incitement of the Speaker of the Sejm to block the swearing-in of Karol Nawrocki as president.<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Piotr A. Skiba stated that the Speaker of the Sejm acted within his legal mandate when declaring the expiration of the politicians’ mandates following their final convictions. The prosecutor emphasized that the Speaker has no authority to verify judicial rulings.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the investigation found no evidence of criminal intent in the Speaker’s efforts to ensure compliance with court rulings. The prosecutor noted that officials are not liable for actions taken in the public interest during times of legal uncertainty, and that blocking the politicians’ entry to the Sejm on February 7, 2024, was a legitimate administrative measure.<\/p>\n
Regarding claims of incitement to stage a “coup,” the prosecution determined that no such pressure was ever exerted on Speaker Szymon Ho\u0142ownia. His previous media statements were interpreted as commentary on public political discourse rather than evidence of criminal solicitation.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor concluded that the discussed political scenarios and interpretations of law voiced by various figures fall within the bounds of constitutionally protected freedom of speech and political debate.<\/p>\n
While these specific threads are closed, the broader investigation into the alleged coup continues. Authorities are still gathering evidence regarding the functioning of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Tribunal, and the National Council of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n
Previous segments of the investigation, including allegations of pressure on the National Electoral Commission and actions against KRRiT head Maciej \u015awirski, were also dismissed in April 2024 due to a lack of evidence of criminal behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
