The fact that the trial that Newag wanted to bring her out of the civilian action will not begin, was informed by MP Paulina Matysiak herself.
"Today, the court dismissed the Newagu suit against me in a individual property violation case. A parliamentarian, including me, while performing a associate or Senator's mandate, protects immunity. This concerns both the speeches at the meetings of the groups or committees and the plenary. In this regard, the Sejm cannot be ignored, due to the fact that it is the Members who decide to agree to bring a associate to justice," wrote the organization MP together on the X portal (formerly Twitter) and thus suggested that Newag's sending a civilian action was an illegal effort to circumvent the Act on the exercise of the mandate of a associate and Senator.
The fact that Newag thinks that Mrs Matysiak is talking and defaming this company has been public almost a year ago, due to the fact that in December 2024. We described this in the text “A fresh installment of the railway scandal. Newag is suing the messenger. “We can no longer tolerate this”.
Newag wanted to ban his MP from speaking on his own
Newag vs Matysiak is the aftermath of another affair described by Onet in December 2023. We described that part of the trains of the Impulse series, and thus produced by Newag Nowy Sącz, broke throughout Poland under very unusual circumstances. This was the case erstwhile these warehouses appeared in circumstantial GPS coordinates (these were locations identical to those of Newagu's competitors). Many trains besides refused to decision after they were unused for a minimum of respective days (which proved that they were passing service) or on circumstantial dates.
As Dragon Sector hackers discovered, the reason for specified unnatural “failure” was the codes originally uploaded into train software. Their presence in Impulse controllers may indicate that they were placed there on purpose, so that only the maker can handle the Impulse service.
Paulina Matysiak spoke loudly at the Parliamentary Committee on Infrastructure and the Parliamentary Group on Combating Transport Exclusion. It was these statements that the Newagu authorities considered to be slander.
The management of the company, whose majority shareholder is 1 of the richest Poles Zbigniew Jakubas, argued that the prosecutor's investigation into train welding continues to be an impulse, no of their company is formally accused of anything, so talking about any Newagu guilt in this context is premature.
“This suit is simply a typical SLAPP, whose intent was to intimidate, silence and discourage me from speaking on an crucial substance of public interest. As a result, the freezing effect was besides to discourage another people from speaking on this matter." — writes on social media MP Matusiak.
SLAPP aims to censor, intimidate and silence critics by charging them with legal defence costs until they abandon their criticism.
Two years of investigation of the "scandal on the railway". inactive no 1 heard any charges.
Thanks to the decision of the Tarnów territory Court, which rejected the civilian suit against her, the MP together can proceed to talk about the activities of Newagu.
However, a formal investigation is inactive underway as early as January 2024, which is expected to establish, whether individual was actually making illegal modifications to the on-board train computers of the Impulse series. The second question is, who could have done it? There is no further clear answer.
The proceedings shall be conducted by the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Krakow. A fewer weeks ago, she smashed it into 2 separate investigations, which were given 2 signatures.
In the first investigation, in which the prosecution determines whether Newag may have compromised passengers and carriers from all over Poland, evidence in the form of documentation and digital data was secured.
— The investigation of witnesses, the examination of the secured evidence, as well as the investigations to get experts are presently ongoing in order to give a specialised opinion on the events concerned. This procedure remains in the rem phase for the time being, that is, “on a case” alternatively than “against someone”, explains Janusz Kowalski, the spokesperson for the Regional Public Prosecutor's Office in Krakow in an interview with Onet.
In parallel, the same spokesperson informs that in the Department for Cybercrime and Information Technology PR in Krakow, the second procedure is registered. “This is led by Newag S.A. and concerns possible crimes under Article 268 of the Criminal Code (destruction of information) and the Copyright Act,” says Prosecutor Kowalski. “At this stage, we do not give any more information about both investigations due to their welfare,” he adds.
