The Justice Fund case
The investigation by the National Public Prosecution Service into the Justice Fund, which has been ongoing since February of this year, has multiple threads; it is ongoing, among other things, with regard to abuse of power and failure to perform duties by the Minister of Justice and civil servants of the ministry, who were responsible for the management, distribution and settlement of funds from the Justice Fund. The fund is primarily intended to help victims of crime, but also to provide post-penitentiary assistance, among other things.
In the opinion of the Public Prosecutor, they – acting with the aim of obtaining financial and personal benefits – provided discretionary and arbitrary financial support to beneficiaries of programs unrelated to the objectives of the Justice Fund, thereby acting to the detriment of the public interest – State finances and private interests, resulting in a restriction of the availability of funds to authorized entities.
Politicians of sovereign Poland have repeatedly pointed out that the Bodnar Prosecutor’s Office failed to prove even these alleged financial benefits, similar to, for example, Fr. Michał Olszewski was not found guilty of alleged money laundering. As you can see, what is more important than the “rule of law”, which until recently was changed by all cases, is political revenge and spectacle for “Strong Razem”.
