Such a provision was included in the draft amendment of the athletics Act adopted by the government. So far, sports judges have not been included in the catalogue of public officials included in the Criminal Code. This hampered the effective fight against stadium aggression directed against them. The intent of this change is so to improve the safety of judges, especially in lower leagues and youth competitions, where aggression was most common. So what will change the fresh law in their situation? The attacks on the justice will be prosecuted out of
office.The protection of sports judges specified as "public officers" will bring concrete legal effects, as the
bcla.pl service states. First of all, public pursuit. Attacks against the justice (infringement of physical integrity, active assault or insult) during or in connection with the competition will be prosecuted by the prosecutor at the office alternatively than by private prosecution. Secondly, stricter penalties. The perpetrators of force against arbitrators are subject to increased criminal security, just as in the case of an attack on a police officer or a paramedic. Third, protection while working. This position shall be granted to the justice in the performance of his duties (summary) and in connection with their performance. If the legislative process goes smoothly, the revised athletics Act can enter into force early this year. fresh law hard to enforcePolsat News asked football justice Marcin Polański if it was a good idea.
