CBA Seizes Documents in Otwock
On 13 November, CBA officers appeared at the Otwock city office at the behest of the National Prosecutor’s Office and secured documents bearing Szymon Hołowni’s signatures. The files, belonging to a resident of the municipality, are required by investigators as comparative material for the case concerning the former Collegium Humanum. The Otwock mayor had initially refused to provide the documents; a prosecutor’s decision demanding their delivery was issued, after which the mayor voluntarily handed them over to the officers without a search of the office.
Investigators’ Objectives
The prosecutor confirms that the documents will be sent to a forensic expert tasked with comparing Hołowni’s signatures to materials collected in the Collegium Humanum investigation. The inquiry is part of a wider proceeding in which prosecutors have already arranged for dozens of handwriting analyses involving other parties. The prosecution stresses that this is a standard procedural step, but it does not disclose the significance of this thread for the investigations or whether further actions are planned in Hołowni’s case.
University Investigation Context
The issue involving Hołowni and Collegium Humanum has been under discussion for more than a year. The prosecution does not comment on political contexts. The university investigation already encompasses hundreds of allegations, including those related to a so‑called “diploma factory.”
