Drunk judge at the station. The Supreme Court suspended him from his duties.
Judge Andrzej Michałowicz has been suspended from his duties following a police intervention at a train station where he was found intoxicated. The suspension is effective from October 29, 2026, pending a disciplinary court decision. Michałowicz, who had a blood alcohol level of four promiles, suffered facial injuries after falling. His wife questioned the police's right to intervene due to his judicial immunity. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the matter, criticizing the nomination process of judges by the neo-KRS. Michałowicz was appointed to the Supreme Court in July 2026 and has faced previous controversies regarding his connections to a WhatsApp group.
