“The real problem with the activities of Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek is not that she is unable to refrain from embarrassing – including outright vulgar – activity on social media, which proves that she should not be a prosecutor due to her political involvement. The real problem is the fact that once again she has been caught breaking the law!” wrote on X the former adviser to President Andrzej Duda and security expert Stanisław Żaryn.
Stanisław Żaryn pointed out that in recent days the prosecution service discontinued an investigation concerning Ms. Wrzosek, “even though the statement in the case clearly indicates that her actions (conducting prosecutorial activities outside her office, in agreement and in cooperation with a private law firm) meet the criteria of a prohibited act.”
The decisions were justified by “low social harmfulness,” which is an outright scandal – any act contrary to the law committed by a PROSECUTOR has a very high degree of social harmfulness.
“And discontinuing such a case is extremely damaging to the credibility of the prosecution service and the sense of justice. This case is yet another example of a surprisingly effective protective umbrella over Wrzosek. In April 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that Ms. Wrzosek and her colleague, Prosecutor Małgorzata M., had taken part in the unlawful acquisition of information from an investigation and in passing it on to the election campaign staff of Rafał Trzaskowski (!). Materials obtained thanks to a personal relationship were used to protect Trzaskowski’s interests during his election campaign (!)”
he emphasized.
Żaryn added that the Supreme Court established that such a practice had indeed taken place and that “Ewa Wrzosek took part in it (incidentally – in this ruling the Supreme Court found that services in Poland have the right to use spyware and that this falls within the law).”
Once again, however, in this case the Supreme Court found that the act involved low social harmfulness and that extra-procedural actions should not be prosecuted. The SN did not agree to lift Małgorzata M.’s immunity, and Ms. Wrzosek’s case was also blurred – mainly thanks to political changes in Poland and the hysteria generated in defense of Ms. Wrzosek.
“After the change of power, Ewa Wrzosek has been treated by the government almost like a star of the prosecution service, operating under surprising rules (she must have consent for political activities in the media). Recent decisions by the prosecution service clearly indicate that Ewa Wrzosek has been caught for the second time acting against the regulations. Her presence in the prosecution service and the Ministry of Justice is a symbol of the collapse of this government’s credibility in managing the prosecution service. This is the real problem. If the government keeps in the MS and the prosecution service someone who has once again been caught by the justice system acting outside the law, then the degeneration of the authorities of the Republic of Poland is enormous and strikes at the foundations of the state,”
emphasized Stanisław Żaryn.
