Bodnar asked the European Parliament to waive the immunity of Grzegorz Braun

Attorney General Adam Bodnar has asked the president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsoli, to consent to the criminal liability of Mr Grzegorz Braun.

The proposal concerns six allegations, 4 of which relate to events at the infirmary in Oleśnica and 2 more concern another incidents involving a Member.

On 16 April this year, Grzegorz Braun, then a candidate in the presidential election, along with a group of supporters, went to the Regional infirmary squad in Oleśnica, where he attempted to make the alleged “citizen detention” of Dr. Gizela Jagielska, a gynaecologist performing abortion. According to the prosecutor's office, these actions included

• Depriving a doctor's freedom by preventing her from leaving her office.
• Violation of her physical immunity by pushing and holding.
• A verbal insult in the performance of her duties.
• Talk to her about actions that may undermine assurance in the doctor’s profession

The D.A. stresses that the doctor is utilizing peculiar protection in this case as a public officer.

The another 2 allegations concern another incidents involving Grzegorz Braun, but the details of these cases were not disclosed in available sources.

In accordance with Article 9 of Protocol No 7 on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union and Articles 5(1), 6(1) and 9(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the European Parliament, it is possible to bring the Euro MP into criminal liability upon prior authorisation of the European Parliament.
