The court decided on Romanowski's safe-conduct. Key fact

According to the court, what is important for the decision to issue a safe conduct, which would allow Romanowski to participate in the proceedings on a free basis, is the fact of his stay abroad, and not his exact place of residence. Therefore, "it is not necessary to determine whether the suspect is in the territory of Transnistria."

Romanowski's defense attorney asked the court to confirm this information with Donald Tusk's hearing, based on the words of the Prime Minister himself.

Before the government meeting on August 18, Donald Tusk confirmed the information that Romanowski himself provided to the court in a letter requesting the issuance of a safe conduct: The services of other countries in the region with which we cooperate confirmed that Mr. Romanowski is 99% located in Transnistria, in Tiraspol - said the Prime Minister.

It was on this basis that the wanted man's lawyer requested that the prosecution of his client with the European Arrest Warrant be abolished. Transnistria is only formally part of Moldova, but in practice it is territory controlled by Russia, and the EAW is certainly not respected there.

Mec. Bartosz Lewandowski also wanted the court to question Donald Tusk on this matter and to ask the Internal Security Agency and the Intelligence Agency for information about the sources of the prime minister's knowledge. However, the court refused to accept these evidence requests and to revoke Romanowski's EAW.

His defense lawyer submitted similar requests for evidence regarding the safe conduct, which Romanowski asked the court to issue in a letter sent from Tiraspol in Transnistria.

However, in yesterday's decision, the court dismissed the request to question the Prime Minister and to turn to the Internal Security Agency and the Intelligence Agency, stating that there are no grounds to question the statement given to the court by the suspect himself that he is abroad. According to the court, this is a sufficient premise to consider an application for issuing a safe conduct to a person who is beyond the reach of the Polish justice system.

The court hearing regarding the issuance of a safe-conduct to Marcin Romanowski is scheduled to take place on September 30.
