Waldemar Żurek: I submitted another motion to lift the immunity of Bogdan Święczkowski

Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek announced he submitted a sixth request to lift Bogdan Święczkowski's immunity, related to the controversial purchase of the Hermes surveillance system. The investigation revealed that the decision to engage with an Israeli entity was made without competitive procedures or proper analysis, risking public finances and confidentiality. Święczkowski faces potential charges for exceeding his authority as a public official, which could lead to three years in prison. Previous allegations against him include illegal operations with the Pegasus system and misuse of confidential materials. Żurek emphasized that judicial immunity protects independence, not criminal actions, and the decision on accountability will be made by the General Assembly of the Constitutional Tribunal.
