Zbigniew Ziobro will not be taken into custody — decided on Monday the Warsaw territory Court. The case afraid the failure of the erstwhile Minister of Justice to appear at the proceeding of the Pegasus investigation committee. The president of the committee, Magdalena Magpieka, said that she would appeal on this matter.
The court decided on Zbigniew Ziobry. What's next?
The decision of the court is amazing in no way. due to the fact that the fact that this will be the case could be assumed as shortly as Zbigniew Ziobro was to be interrogated by the committee of enquiry after he had been detained and brought to the Sejm's building by the police.
That day, as we remember, Ziobro turned himself in to the officers virtually 1 minute before the committee gathering was scheduled to begin. but he was at the tv Republic then, not the Sejm. He was delivered to the Sejm respective minutes later, but the proceeding did not happen due to the fact that earlier committee of enquiry decided to close the sitting and file a motion for temporary arrest. Even then, it could be assumed that the court would appeal to this condition — that Ziobro, erstwhile the committee gathering was closed, was already in the building of the Sejm, and there was small standing in the way of this hearing.
The Commission decided otherwise and its members could anticipate that the court would now take specified a decision. But why can't Ziobro sleep peacefully? First of all, this decision is invalid, so we're inactive going to have an appeal.

In the case of temporary detention decisions, appeals shall be handled with a considerable delay, after a fewer weeks. Sometimes it takes 2 months, So I'm certain it'll get longer..
There is another aspect of the case. It's not like the committee of enquiry is paralyzed now. due to the deficiency of an interview with Ziebra. There are interrogations of erstwhile CBA officers, lower-level officials, prosecutors. The work so takes place whether Zbigniew Ziobro appears before the committee or not. Even if the court of higher instance remains in force the judgement of the court, Ziobro will be challenged again. However, it will most likely not happen on its own, as it cites the judgement of the Court of the Republic of Poland, which stated that the resolution of the Sejm on the appointment of a committee was partially incompatible with the Constitution.
Let us besides remember that In addition to the parliamentary committee of inquiry, the case is besides investigated by a peculiar squad in the National Prosecutor's Office. For many months, the committee of enquiry had a problem with access to classified materials from CBA resources that afraid the usage of Pegasus. This access was blocked. by a erstwhile late resigned CBA chief, Mrs. Gurdak. All this time, prosecutors from the National Prosecutor's Office. They had access to these materials. The investigation is ongoing, it will continue, and there is no indication that it will be stopped in any way.
Thus, in this case, charges will surely be made due to the fact that the Pegasus scandal is 1 of the thickest scandals of the PiS rule, whereas Zbigniew Ziobro himself stood at the top of the authoritative pyramid as Minister of Justice and lawyer General. From this point of view, even though the court decided not to apply provisional arrest on Monday, The erstwhile minister can't sleep peacefully.
