“I just checked what kind of prosecutor is behind Karpiński. He is a prosecutor who has an extremely bad hand, i.e. many high-profile cases that ended in a complete fiasco of the prosecutor’s office, said Tomasz Siemoniak, former Minister of National Defense and PO MP, in an interview with Polish Radio 24 .
Tomasz Siemoniak, in an interview with Polish Radio 24, referred to the high-profile case of the Warsaw “garbage scandal” and the arrest of Włodzimierz Karpiński. He stated that there are many premises that cast doubt on the prosecutor’s allegations against the detained former Treasury Secretary in Donald Tusk’s administration. Siemoniak, who is Karpiński’s colleague from the PO government, is another person, after Tusk himself, who assures about the honesty and decency of the arrested Warsaw secretary. The question arises, however, whether this defense stems from a sincere conviction or from social and political arrangements.
Such a case is of course never a case that is looked at calmly, because something is going on here and the person has been arrested. I have a very good opinion of Włodzimierz Karpiński, we worked together in one government, I worked with him as a member of parliament, I consider him an honest and decent man
– said Tomasz Siemoniak.
Neumann’s teaching?
The PO politician also has no confidence in the reliability of the OM’s investigation. According to him, also in this case she will not be able to end the case and Karpiński will defend herself. However, the most important seems to be the position of the court, which did not have to issue a three-month arrest warrant for the suspect and did so anyway. Given that, as mentioned by Senator Libicki – the courts are not favoring PiS, the whole thing gets particularly spicy.
We remember many high-profile cases, many arrests, and then years of human lives under the weight of accusations, and finally the courts that acquitted them. I just checked what kind of prosecutor is behind Karpiński. He is a prosecutor who has an extremely bad hand, namely many high-profile cases that ended in a complete fiasco of the prosecutor’s office. We have a presumption of innocence, I believe Włodzimierz Karpiński will defend himself
– added.
I would expect from the prosecutor’s office or the attorney general, because Ziobro himself spoke out on this issue, not general accusations, but quick action, specifics, so that it would not take years again
– noted the PO MP.
There have been enough cases in the past thirty years where someone has been convicted, and what if he is acquitted after seven years if he has never been to that place again, so more abstinence. These boundaries are often crossed in political struggles
he said.
Due to the fact that the Civic Platform has followed a unified strategy to defend Karpiński and successive prominent figures assure the honesty of the arrested, one can expect that Karpiński himself is no ordinary cog in the party machine. Apparently, the “Neumann doctrine”, consisting in jointly defending against corruption allegations by PO politicians, has not diminished.
