Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office has revealed a series of irregularities in high-profile cases under Zbigniew Ziobro’s leadership, exposing how political influence may have shaped prosecutorial decisions. From withdrawn indictments to delayed proceedings, the report details how legal processes were manipulated to protect key figures – including former Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek.
Withdrawing indictments from court, taking back cases and overturning prosecutors’ decisions, deliberately dragging out proceedings – these are some of the pathologies described in the National Prosecutor’s Office report on political investigations under Zbigniew Ziobra.
A team at the National Prosecutor’s Office has taken up the case of Daniel Obajtek, former CEO of Orlen, now an MEP and a favourite of the PiS leadership, for closer examination. This is the most blatant example of alleged misuse of the prosecution service under the Law and Justice Party.
