They're in pain! "We are dealing with obstruction as regards the implementation of the instrument, a very crucial instrument of EU law," said Adam Bodnar in TVN24, referring to Hungary's failure to comply with the European Arrest Warrant against PiS MP Marcin Romanowski. Not much, Bodnar wants to decision on and would like the intervention of the EU Eurojust agency!
Romanowski – erstwhile Deputy Minister of Justice and PiS MP – is suspected in the Justice Fund investigation. Bodnarists accuse him of participating in an organized crime group (sic!) and manipulating competitions for funds from this fund. In early December, the court decided to hold him for 3 months. He was followed by a BOLO and later besides a European Arrest Warrant (ENA). In December, an application was made to prosecute it with the alleged red Interpol note. It turned out that Romanowski obtained political asylum in Hungary.
Obstruction in the implementation of the instrument, a very crucial instrument of EU law
“Bodnar said on TVN24.
He added that this is simply a very interesting situation with respect to ENA as the Hungarian court stated that he could only deal with specified a request if the individual afraid was deprived of his freedom.
But Mr. Romanowski is not deprived of his freedom due to the fact that no 1 wants to keep him in Hungary due to asylum. So a small paragraph 22 and a situation that's most likely going to go on.
“He said.
I want Eurojust's actions
Therefore, as he added, Poland will usage all legal and political resources at EU level. He informed that he had requested the intervention of Michael Schmidt, who is the head of Eurojust (European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation, European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Justice in Criminal Cases based in The Hague – PAP).
This is an EU platform to guarantee appropriate cooperation between the courts and units of the prosecutors
“ Bodnar said.
Policy context
Furthermore, as the head of MS added, the Polish prosecutor's office applied to the Hungarian authorities in the Romanowski case with the alleged European investigative order.
On the another hand, who knows, it may be that elections in Hungary will lead to a real change. This is next year. But I may say in this way that the statute of limitations of criminality, for acts that... are accused of Mr. Romanowski's statute of limitations in about 20 or 30 years – we will besides be able to make it. I think that Mr. Romanowski will visit Poland sooner or later
“Bodnar said, confident.
Mr. Minister, who co-responsible for anarchy and lawlessness, seemingly he does not intend to let Romanowski go. Eventually, the games must continue.
