Roman Giertych announced that the KO clearing squad for the PiS would submit a announcement of Zbigniew Ziobra's anticipation of committing a crime. Among the charges were alleged threats of unlawful conduct against judges and the president of the Court of Appeal. The politician referred to Article 224 of the Criminal Code, which speaks of influencing authoritative activities of state or local authorities.

Article 224 of the Criminal Code: Grounds for notification

The regulation that Gierty points to is:

‘He who has an effect on the authoritative activities of a government administration, another state authority or a local government body shall be subject to imprisonment until the age of 3.’

According to Giertych and the KO team, Zbigniew Ziobro was expected to cross the line of law by making unlawful threats. The politician assured that the appropriate notification would be sent to the applicable authorities later this week.

Charges against Ziobra

According to the KO squad on the settlement of the Law and Justice, the erstwhile Minister of Justice was able to make unlawful threats in order to press the judges and the president of the Court of Appeal. This was designed to get them to resign from their duties. Gierty stressed that specified activities may bear the marks of a crime in accordance with applicable criminal law.

Zbigniew Ziobro answers

On Saturday, Zbigniew Ziobro presented papers at the press conference on the draw of judges to consider the Pegasus committee's request to bring 1 of the PiS MPs to the hearing. The erstwhile Minister of Justice claimed that the draw procedure was repeated, as the originally elected justice could issue a judgement “inconsistent with the will of the authorities today”.

Ziobro described the situation as a "pathological, illegal and criminal mechanics for setting up court decisions for a selected staff composition". He compared it to practices known from communist times:

"Unfortunately, these practices are not only a sad story, but they become a real fact in the activity of the Polish judiciary. I say this with large sadness and deep reflection on the situation that Donald Tusk's government led to," Ziobro said.

Political and legal context

The dispute between Roman Gierty and Zbigniew Ziobra falls within the broader political and legal context. The allegations of irregularities in the Polish judiciary have been controversial for years, and accusations of force on judges are a serious charge. It is worth noting that the PIS clearing squad repeatedly announced actions to settle erstwhile members of the Law and Justice Government for their decisions.

What's next?

If the announcement is actually filed, the case will go to the law enforcement authorities, which will gotta measure whether there has been a breach of law. This is another episode in tense relations between representatives of the ruling camp and the opposition, and its result may affect the further conduct of political debate in Poland.

Discussing the independency of the Polish judiciary and accusations of manipulating legal processes become 1 of the key public topics. How's this case going? Time will show if the charges against Zbigniew Ziobra will be confirmed in evidence.
