The Polish Prosecutor’s Office has responded to the State Tribunal’s decision to dismiss a request to lift the immunity of Supreme Court President Małgorzata Manowska.
Background of the Case
The State Tribunal has dismissed a request to lift the immunity of Małgorzata Manowska, the President of the Supreme Court. The request was submitted by the Prosecutor’s Office.
Tribunal’s Decision and Prosecutor’s Reaction
The State Tribunal’s decision was made by a three-member panel, which found that the request was not valid due to the absence of a quorum. However, the Prosecutor’s Office has strongly criticized this decision, calling it “unfounded” and “devoid of real legal basis.”
The Prosecutor’s Office argues that the request to lift Manowska’s immunity was submitted by an authorized prosecutor and that the Tribunal’s decision to exclude certain members was unjustified.
Next Steps
The Prosecutor’s Office has announced that it will continue its efforts to obtain the necessary consent to lift Manowska’s immunity. The Office stated that it will “consistently continue procedural actions aimed at obtaining consent from the competent authorities.”
