Mec. Michał Skwarzyński, one of the defenders of Father Michał Olszewski, points out that not every suspect enjoys the same respect from the Polish prosecutor’s office as the Russian spy Rubcow. His client, Father Michał Olszewski, is not so “lucky” and neither is his client, who is still denied access to all files by the prosecutor’s office.
READ ALSO: OUR INTERVIEW. Ostrowski on the Rubtsov scandal: “Chaos. The communication between the prosecutor’s office and the services was misleading.
We still don’t have access to all the files, but only to a specific part of this investigation. It is organized in such a way that we do not receive these files. We do not really have the right to use these files, but the spy gets such files
– admits lawyer Dr. Michał Skwarzyński, who together with lawyer Krzysztof Wąsowski is defending priest Michał Olszewski
The rules are clear. You can refuse to give files to a suspect, which is allowed, for example, in espionage, but you can never refuse files to the defense. This is the case law. No one has shown us the files. I am surprised by the Rubtsov case. I have been dealing with the powers of secret services in the context of human rights for more than twelve years. I know the methodology of these activities and I am surprised that a spy who has been discovered operationally should be given files about this investigation. This is an incredible scandal.
– he added.
It is possible that the spy was safer for the Polish state than priest Michał Olszewski
– stressed the defender of priest Michał Olszewski ironically.
The conclusion of the above sentence is terrifying. It means that the Polish prosecutor’s office and the entire state apparatus were on the side of the Russian spy, and in the case of Father Michał Olszewski we are dealing with almost all the repression that the state can use against a citizen.
