There is a sixth request to waive the immunity of Bogdan Święczkowski

"I have submitted another, sixth application to the Constitutional Tribunal to waive the immunity of Bogdan Święczkowski, adding it to the five applications submitted on Friday. Today's case concerns the purchase of the Hermes spy system while he was the National Prosecutor," Żurek announced on the X platform on Tuesday afternoon.

Żurek informed on Friday, October 30, in the evening about sending five requests to waive the immunity of the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, and one request to waive the immunity of the Vice-President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bartłomiej Sochański.

On that day, representatives of the group elected as judges of the Constitutional Tribunal in this term of the Sejm provided information that Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, as the oldest judge, became the head of the Constitutional Tribunal and issued an order on a break in the activities of President Święczkowski and Vice-President Sochański.

What do requests for waiver of immunity involve?

As announced in Tuesday's announcement by the National Prosecutor's Office, Friday's requests to waive Święczkowski's immunity concern, among others, unauthorized use of materials from operational control and disclosure of classified information as part of the investigation into the Pegasus system, exceeding powers and failure to fulfill duties by preventing Constitutional Tribunal judges from performing their functions and violating their employee rights, and delegating prosecutors contrary to the regulations while Święczkowski was the national prosecutor.

In turn, the motion to waive Sochański's immunity concerns the issue of preventing Constitutional Tribunal judges from performing their official duties and violating their employee rights.
