Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [323]
- the judiciary where PIS created illegal institutions infested with their supporters whose main aim was to remove independent judges who obeyed the rule of law.
Here is an example of cleaning the PiS swamp in the judiciary.
The Justice Ministry is gathering data about all prosecution cases tainted with political pressure in PIS times.
A few years ago, when Donald Tusk party was still in power, radical nationalists organised a rally in Wrocław, full of hate speech and calls for murder against immigrants and the gov.
Certain female prosecutor decided to file a prosecution against the haters and bring them to justice. However, the gov changed and rightists took over. The prosecutor withdrew the charges and the case was closed though no new evidence appeared. For being so lenient, she was properly rewarded and her career in the local attorney department sky rocketed.
Now, she is going to undergo investigation for allowing PIS to breach the independence of the judiciary .
- The department received a request to consider initiating an investigation against the prosecutor for committing a crime under Article 231 of the Penal Code - confirmed in an interview with Onet the spokesman for the National Prosecutor's Office, Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak.
The provision on exceeding one's powers by a public official states that if the court finds such an official guilty - in this case, prosecutor Justyna Pilaczyk - may face a penalty of up to three years in prison.
However, its length may be increased to up to ten years if "the perpetrator commits the act in order to gain material or personal benefit".
And this is how the prosecutor's actions are assessed in the report by her current superiors. "It is impossible not to notice that after the issuance of the decision in question, the professional career of the prosecutor-referee gained momentum," they wrote in the report, enumerating Justyna Pilarczyk's subsequent promotions.onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/umorzyla-sledztwo-w-sprawie-szefowej-onr-teraz-to-jej-moze-grozic-wiezienie/xwde7gk,79cfc278
