Request for arrest for Zbigniew Ziobry. It's the Pegasus system.

Magdalena Magoka, Head of the Pegasus Commission She argued that the committee had tried to call Ziobra for questioning 5 times. all time it doesn't work. Requesting detention for Ziebra, the committee plans further follow-up proceedings on 23-25 June.

Ziobro himself stands for the position that on 31 January he appeared for the hearing, so there is no way that he avoided questioning.

Let's remind you, it's a loud communicative erstwhile Ziobrob He was expected to be interrogated by the police. First, the officers couldn't find his whereabouts. It shortly turned out that Ziobrob is at the office Television RepublicWhere he gave a live interview. After the interview, Ziobrob At about 10:30 p.m. in the police ace, he went to the Sejm, where he was expected by the committee of inquiry. The point is, the proceeding is scheduled for 10:30.

The Commission, having concluded that Herbs is not, closed the sitting, considering that the erstwhile minister was unsuccessful and decided to make a request for order punishment up to 30 days in prison.

Ziorbro didn't come to the committee? The sentences are divided

Finally, he was in the committee gathering area at 11:10 p.m.

– abruptly I am, I come and they run away, fear has large eyes – Ziobro said to journalists.

– The Commission refused to perceive present Ziobry’s BitterBecause erstwhile it was known that the erstwhile minister was in the Sejm, a request for arrest was voted out in a turbo-urgency mode and the committee's deliberations closed. It seemed as if the committee was all about voting on the arrest," Wipler said.

– Times erstwhile it Zbigniew Ziobro He wrote scripts, they're over. There is no way that we can play in the performance that Zbigniew Ziobro has been giving us for any time – stressed Magpie, announcing a request for detention.

Herbs They keep from the beginning that the application for detention is unfounded. They say Ziobrob he was successfully brought to the committee due to the fact that he was detained by the police before 10:30 p.m. and is not his responsibility that the committee had completed the work before the convoy brought him to the meeting. There can so be no "resistent evasion of testimony".

In the meantime, the commission, erstwhile preparing a request for detention, referred to the law on the Sejm investigation committee, which, in akin cases, refers to the Code of Criminal Procedure.

In Article 287, paragraph 2 states that "in the event of persistent evasion of testimony, the performance of an expert, translator or specialist and the issue of the subject may be applied, irrespective of the penalty, to arrest for a period not exceeding 30 days".

Ziobro and Pegasus system. Will there be an interrogation of the erstwhile minister?

Parliamentary Committee of enquiry for Pegasus was created to analyse whether the usage of this surveillance software by the government, peculiar services and police at the time erstwhile the Law and Justice ruled was lawful. The Commission is besides to find who was liable for buying Pegasus and akin tools for Polish authorities.

Zbigniew Ziobro, like all the Law and Justice, emphasises that the Pegasus Investigative Committee is acting illegally. He refers to the judgement of the Constitutional Court of September 2024 that the resolution of the Sejm on the appointment of that committee was unconstitutional.

Members of the committee of enquiry say Zbigniew Ziobro is simply a key witness to them. Investigators want the erstwhile Minister of Justice to answer the question of who made the final decision to acquisition the Pegasus strategy and why it was co-financed by the Justice Fund.

– Zbigniew Ziobro, erstwhile Minister of Justice, lawyer General, was the main authorising officer of the Justice Fund. We presume that it is apparent that he had cognition of the illegal transfer of money from the Justice Fund to acquisition the Pegasus strategy and its usage by the CBA," explained the president of the Pegasus committee of enquiry Magdalena Magpie.

In turn Ziobrob in conversation with journalists, he repeatedly assured that he had made all the decisions by law. He besides pointed out that Justice Fund was intended not only to support victims of crime, but besides to support crime prevention.

– It is hard to imagine a better way of combating crime, specified as the anticipation of the criminal's actions being penetrated by the services in front of the crime. This is what this strategy serves – Ziobro argued.
