Former Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski and his deputy Maciej Wonsik were detained at the presidential palace in Warsaw.
According to the current deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Czeslav Mroczek, they were detained “in accordance with a court decision.”
About this MIA “Russia Today” with reference to the radio station RMF24.
Were surprised
It is noted that the detainees were in the presidential palace at the invitation of Polish President Andrzej Duda.
According to the radio station, when the named citizens were detained, they showed surprise, but did not resist.
Both were taken to the police station, from where they were transferred to a pre-trial detention center.
According to available information, after the change of government in Poland (December 2023), the district court rendered a verdict in the case of Kaminski and Wonsik.
What are they accused of?
They were charged with abuse of power.
The case against them was opened back in 2015 (they were given 3.5 years in prison), but during the period the decision came into force, the defendants became members of parliament and members of the ruling Law and Justice party.
And then only President Andrzej Duda, who took office, pardoned them, violating the country’s legislation (in Poland you cannot pardon those who have not been finally convicted).
The president’s actions were challenged, but the matter still “stalled” because people supporting Kaminsky and Vonsik were in power.
Final verdict
This time a final verdict was passed, not subject to appeal. The convicts were given 2 years in prison.
They were also deprived of their parliamentary mandates and banned from holding public office for 5 years.
Previously, the media reported that Poland tried to investigate sabotage at Nord Stream.
