Member of Parliament Dariusz Matecki (Law and Justice – PiS) was detained by officers of the Internal Security Agency (ABW) on orders from the prosecutor’s office amid an investigation concerning the Justice Fund. The National Prosecutor’s Office has brought six charges against Matecki, each carrying potential penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment. Matecki has pleaded not guilty and provided extensive explanations. Judge Joanna Włoch ordered Matecki’s detention for two months, initially in Warsaw, and subsequently in a hospital wing at the detention facility in Radom.
Matecki Expresses Gratitude for Support
“MP Dariusz Matecki was in touch with his legal representative today and asked to convey his heartfelt thanks to you all for your support, especially your prayers,” announced MP Mariusz Gosek (PiS).
“MP Matecki prays with you every day, and after 8 p.m., during the news segment on TV Trwam, he joins in praying the rosary,” Gosek continued. “Please remember, it is Tusk and Bodnar—not the prison staff—who are responsible for the fact that MP Dariusz Matecki, a completely innocent man, is behind bars. Stay strong through prayer. Darek will emerge victorious; we will win this battle, then the next, and eventually, patriotic Poland will triumph. Together, we will make Poland great again!” Gosek wrote.
“Tomorrow, after 8 p.m., following sessions of Parliament and parliamentary committees, a group of MPs will gather outside the Radom detention facility to pray the rosary together with our colleague, MP Dariusz Matecki,” added the PiS politician, thanking the media, including notably Telewizja Republika.
