Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek likes to emphasize her apolitical approach to the work. The independence of the public prosecutor’s office and its role in the rule of law are discussed. Meanwhile, the wPolityce.pl portal discovered that at the end of November 2023 she established close cooperation with the future Minister of Culture Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, which, among other things, he sent a number of security requests related to public media companies to her email address. We have reasons to claim that prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek acted together with the politician and based on his suggestion. The case is being handled by the Internal Affairs department of the National Public Prosecutor’s Office, but recent changes in this department could lead to the whole case being swept under the rug. Ewa Wrzosek himself is currently being nominated for the position of National Prosecutor.

On November 30, 2023, prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek will receive a sample procedural letter from Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz in her email box. The politician, who in two weeks will become Minister of Culture and the one who destroyed the public media, is counting on the villages seeking safety to block the attempt to save the public media. The business is immediately taken over by Ewa Wrzosek. The statement ‘takes over’ is absolutely correct here, because Wrzosek himself has no right to do so. It does not address civil or administrative issues that prosecutors raise in courts. She has no right to do this. A bizarre situation arises where Wrzosek tries to mimic the case number! This operation failed thanks to the courageous attitude of the clerk of the Warsaw-Mokotów District Prosecutor’s Office. She did not agree to reserve the next KO number, that is, the reference number for the application that MP Sienkiewicz sent to Wrzosek.
(…) Mr. Prosecutor Onyszczuk came to the office, during our conversation, Ms. Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek called Mr. Prosecutor Jarosław Onyszczuk’s mobile phone, after which it was handed over to me. (…) Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek asked me to reserve another KO number. (…) I have let you know that I do not have the option to reserve a number without making a decision. During the day I did not receive any material from prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek (…)
– we read in the speaker’s explanation, obtained by the wPolityce.pl portal.
However, Ewa Wrzosek does not give up. It imitates a different signature for a completely different behavior!
She did not get the right verdict, so she referred to the reference number of the proceedings of another prosecutor – assigned to the department of another prosecutor – but she misled the district courts (to which she sent petitions, among others, Sienkiewicz – ed.) by pointing out the existence of non-criminal proceedings involving interference with the content of the articles of association of companies
– says our informant.
The prosecutor “took care of” everything. She even came up with a way to bypass the official correspondence from the Public Prosecutor’s Office and sent her and Sienkiewicz’s applications to a different email address than the one assigned to the Warsaw-Mokotów Public Prosecutor’s Office! Therefore, it operates in violation of official regulations regarding the operation of secretariats and other administrative departments in common organizational units of the Prosecutor’s Office.
no permission
Another doubt concerns the fact that Ewa Wrzosek submitted applications. It appears that she is not authorized to act in the field of administrative law or civil law. According to our interlocutors, when submitting Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz’s requests, prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek not only acted beyond her powers. On November 30, 2023, she could not know the content of the MP’s requests, which he officially submitted as his ‘demand’ to the public prosecutor’s office. This also indicates that prosecutor Wrzosek’s real client was Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz, who sent her application templates to her work email address.
The case came to light a week after Ewa Wrzosek sent out the applications. The courts have entered into correspondence with the Public Prosecution Service. The scale of the irregularities was considered so great that on December 8, 2023, it was decided to withdraw Wrzosek’s applications. The wPolityce.pl portal has obtained the justification for the decision to withdraw the letters of prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek.
(…) it should be mentioned that the request for security was submitted by a person posing as Ewa Wrzosek, Prosecutor of the Warsaw-Mokotów District Prosecutor’s Office, or by Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek – without prior explanation in the case and outside the scope of the case. activities charged with the above-mentioned activities. the prosecutor is not appointed, as part of her official duties, to conduct civil cases or other activities in the context of the non-criminal activities of the public prosecutor’s office
– we read in the motivation of the Warsaw-Mokotów District Prosecutor’s Office from December last year.
Procedures and unanswered questions
Ewa Wrzosek’s actions did not escape the attention of her bosses. The case was referred to the Internal Affairs department of the National Public Prosecutor’s Office (WSW PK). What is her fate? We have asked the National Public Prosecutor’s Office about this. After almost a week of waiting, we “found out” that there is no procedure underway at WSW PK in the Ewa Wrzosek case.
After checking today, I kindly inform you that WSW PK is not conducting proceedings in the described case (last question). In addition, I would like to kindly inform you that the PK’s press spokesperson is not the correct addressee for the remaining questions, as they do not relate to the PK’s activities, cases conducted at the PK, or prosecutors working at the PK.
– we read in the response that the spokesperson for the National Public Prosecution Service sent us.
We quickly determined that the information from the National Public Prosecutor’s Office was false. On the day we asked questions, February 12, the procedure was still ongoing and had an appropriate reference number. The National Public Prosecutor’s Office has decided to further ‘correct’ the information it provided to us in the email.
(…) I have asked WSW PK again to confirm whether such a case was or is being pursued. Today I received information that due to ongoing changes at WSW PK, including personnel changes and the analysis of all cases, it will not be possible to respond today. The chief agreed to respond by next Monday
– we read in the email that Przemysław Nowak, spokesperson for the National Public Prosecution Service, sent to our editors.
And how does PK address all aspects of this issue?
In addition to my answer, in light of obtaining new information, I kindly inform you that on December 27, 2023, Attorney General Adam Bodnar, in accordance with art. 9 paragraph 2 of the Public Prosecution Act has taken over from the Warsaw Public Prosecutor’s Office all cases conducted with the participation of a public prosecutor in civil proceedings and relating to commercial law companies of public radio and television broadcasters and PAP
– PK informs us.
These are all cases related to this matter, including possible cases initiated by Ewa Wrzosek (but this requires checking the data or system of PO Warszawa – therefore I refer you again to the spokesperson of the above-mentioned unit) . are analyzed by the National Public Prosecutor’s Office
– says the PK spokesperson.
The problem with our correspondence with the Public Prosecutor’s Office is that it does not answer the questions asked by the wPolityce.pl portal. There they are:
Ladies and gentlemen, is it true that on November 30, 2023, MP Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz provided prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek with the contents of several requests she sent to courts across the country, relating to the security of public media companies?
Is it true that Prosecutor Wrzosek, without obtaining an appropriate decision, referred to the reference number of another prosecutor’s proceedings – a number assigned to another department of the Prosecutor’s Office?
Is it true that Prosecutor Wrzosek, as part of her official duties performed (at the time) at the Warsaw Mokotów District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw, did not exercise any activity in the field of civil or administrative law?
Is it true that Ms. Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek sent the correspondence outside the official correspondence circulation of the Public Prosecution Service and archives, contrary to the provisions of the Decree on the organization and scope of work of secretariats and other administrative departments in common organizational units from the public prosecutor? district attorney’s office?
Is it true that then-MP Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz sent the above application templates to the work email address of prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek?
Is it true that the Internal Affairs department of the National Public Prosecutor’s Office is conducting proceedings in this case? What stage is it at?
We also asked our questions to the Ministry of Justice and Prosecutor Ewa Wrzosek. We have not received any answers
Ewa Wrzosek’s actions are a clear example of an attempt to manually control the prosecutor’s office and definitive proof that she, as a potential national prosecutor, will continue to commit such violations.
