The police will have a big problem because they will have to arrest the MP on court order. I have documents proving that I am a Member of Parliament and that I have immunity. The police will have to use coercion and they will probably succeed. I am not going to fight with police officers, Maciej Wąsik said in Telewizja Trwam on Monday.
As reported in a press release sent to the media and signed by the Vice President of the Warsaw-Śródmieście District Court, Judge Piotr Maksymowicz, the court on Monday did not accept requests for refusal to initiate enforcement proceedings against Kamiński and Wąsik.

In view of the content of the decision and the orders to enforce the sentence, execution documentation was drawn up, including orders to transfer the convicted Kamiński and Wąsik to penitentiary units
– says Judge Maksymowicz.
What does Maciej Wasik expect?
Wąsik commented on the case on TV Trwam, where he said he had obtained this information from both the media and his representative.
When asked what he expected in the coming hours, he replied: “It looks like the police are coming and offering to take me to a police car.”
Of course, I have documents proving that I am a Member of Parliament, that the decision (of the Chairman of the Sejm, Szymon) Hołownia is invalid, that it was not approved by the Supreme Court, has been annulled, which means that I have immunity.
– said Wąsik. He estimated that “the police will have a big problem because they will have to detain the MP on court order.”
Wąsik was asked about the information from the police, who informed on the “X” platform that no court decisions had been received so far ordering the police to take away M. Kamiński and M. Wąsik. After receiving the relevant documents, the police will carry out the administrative activities provided for by law.
According to Wąsik, “this will be a problem because it will entail the detention of two deputies with immunity representing their constituents, against whom the president has used the law of clemency, that is, he has legally stopped the proceedings because we were prosecuting corruption .”
This whole judgment is not about us doing anything wrong. NO. We pursued and combated corruption within the CBA so effectively that some groups no longer liked it and decided we should be eliminated.
– added.
Responding to the journalists’ comment that the court ruled that they had exceeded their powers, Wąsik said that “in 2015 an anti-PiS fanatic, judge (Wojciech) Łączewski, had a three-year prison sentence and a ten-year prison sentence imposed. ban on holding public office and wrote an extremely interesting story claiming that there was corruption, that we created it, that we encouraged corruption, that we illegally used operational control , that we have obtained these permissions.
The president, seeing this nonsense, decided that the law of pardons should be applied because it was absurd, and after a few years the Supreme Court decided to review this law, even though it had no right to do so.
– added the politician.
And contrary to the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal, which stated that the president had the right to do this, the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court ruled that the law of pardon has no legal effect on us. That is why this pseudo-judgment took place on December 20
– Wasik explained.
Wąsik was asked what he would do if the police wanted to detain him.
They will have to use some coercion and they will probably succeed. I’m not going to fight with police officers. They are not guilty of anything
– added. But as he said, “we will actually be political prisoners, this will be the result of political revenge exacted on us by circles linked to the current ruling coalition.”
They hate us, they have decided that the people who founded the CBA should be punished and that the CBA should be dissolved.
– added.
Another pardon?
The PiS politician was asked on Telewizja Trwam about RMF FM’s reports about the intention to appeal in cassation against the court verdict, which sentenced him and Mariusz Kamiński to two years in prison for abuse of power.
We do not recognize this judgment, so there is no point in filing an appeal in cassation against something that we do not recognize
– said Wąsik.
We believe that we received a valid pardon in 2015 and that the President (Andrzej Duda – PAP) ended the course of these proceedings with his pardon. What the court has done is contrary to the president’s final decision
– added Wąsik.
He noted that the Supreme Court’s Chamber for Extraordinary Scrutiny and Public Affairs confirmed that the pardon law is still in force.
There is a session of the Sejm on January 10 (January). We went to this meeting or we are going there. I think that what happened today, i.e. changing the judge in the executing court so that the Justitia judge could immediately, within an hour, decide on the execution of this sentence, is everything to prevent us from having are admitted to the Sejm.
– said Wąsik.
According to the PiS politician, this issue will one day be explained on many levels and in many ways.
Marshal (Szymon) Hołownia will regret his decisions, which were clearly inspired by Donald Tusk. He is just a puppet, who has been very scared lately
– said Wąsik.
He emphasized that the decision of the Supreme Court’s Chamber for Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, revoking the Sejm Speaker’s decision to terminate his and Mariusz Kamiński’s parliamentary mandates, “should close this issue.”
There is doubt here about what will happen if we cannot vote, for example on the budget bill, even though the Supreme Court has declared that we have a mandate. There will be voices questioning the propriety of the budget adoption
– said Wąsik, and this could – as he added – mean early elections.
He pointed out that such a situation could lead to a serious crisis for the country.
When asked about the meeting with President Andrzej Duda scheduled for Tuesday, Wąsik replied: “the president wants to make it clear that he treats us as parliamentarians, that’s how I see it.” He noted that the meeting will take place “unless the current government decides that deputies who have immunity should be detained and the law will be broken.”
We take this into account
– Wąsik noted.
When asked if he would ask the president for another pardon, he said there was “no need.”
We won’t ask the president because there is no need. The President has performed an act of mercy and there is no need to repeat it
– said Wąsik.
We have committed no crime. We are going to jail because that is what the new government wants, because we prosecuted corruption, and it so happens that some of these corrupt people are from Civic Platform. This is an act of political revenge
– said Wasik.
As he added, the case of the so-called The Land Scandal “was ongoing and nothing happened there until Mariusz Kamiński sent Donald Tusk an analysis of the gambling scandal in 2009.”
The cause of what is happening today is Donald Tusk and his actions in 2009.
– Wąsik emphasized.
In March 2015, Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński were unlawfully sentenced by the District Court to 3 years in prison and a 10-year ban on holding positions, including: for exceeding its powers and illegal operational activities of the CBA in the “land scandal”. The court classified the most serious crimes they were accused of as incitement to corruption. On November 16, 2015, the president pardoned the convicts.
Two kinds of pardon
Andrzej Duda explained on Monday that in the field of criminal procedure, two types of pardons are possible: the so-called abolition and amnesty.
And this, i.e., exempt from prosecution, was an abolition pardon; a form that was described in textbooks and that absolutely fell within the framework of the – I emphasize – presidential prerogative, namely the right to pardon
– said Duda on Monday, who met with the Chairman of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia.
Early June this year. The Supreme Court of Criminal Chamber, after appeals filed by assistant prosecutors, halted the case of the former heads of the CBA, which was filed by the Warsaw District Court in March 2016 in connection with the pardon law used by President Andrzej Duda against the then wrongfully convicted former heads of the CBA and transferred the SO case for re-examination. December 20 last year In a final verdict, they were sentenced to two years in prison in connection with the so-called land scandal.
