Problems of a PSL MP. The Commission almost unanimously voted to waive immunity

Sejm committee in favor of lifting the immunity of a PSL MP

The prosecutor's office submitted a request to waive the immunity of MP Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski to the Sejm in July this year. It concerns suspected misappropriation of entrusted funds and residential premises purchased with them, as well as activities aimed at preventing the execution of an expected court decision by selling and donating assets.

The Sejm Rules and Regulations Committee almost unanimously supported the lifting of MP Bartoszewski's immunity. 14 MPs voted "for" and no one was against. The final decision will be made by the Sejm.

Behind the scenes of the committee meeting: How did the politician defend himself?

The MP tried to convince the committee to postpone the decision until the case of embezzlement and concealment of assets worth several million was resolved by the court - informs RMF FM journalist Tomasz Skory, who observed the committee meeting.

The MP referred to recently disclosed evidence, claiming that the relevant documents had been submitted to the prosecutor's office in a letter by his representative.

They were not the subject of analysis at the time of preparing the application addressed to the Sejm, so they could not be taken into account when formulating the findings presented to the committee, argued MP Bartoszewski.

However, as the prosecutor present in the room stated, he had not received such documents so far. Meanwhile, MP Bartoszewski's representative - who has been in this position since Friday - admitted that he sent them only today. This was enough for the MPs. No one intended to investigate the allegations themselves, reports an RMF FM journalist.
