“If prosecutor Bodnar wants to effectively fight crime, he must first abandon his criminal path,” said Marcin Romanowski, a former deputy justice minister, to the wPolityce.pl portal. He notes that a report has been filed with the prosecutor’s office alleging illegal actions by Bodnar and Bilewicz, and that a chain of prosecutors who assumed new roles based on their decisions may have committed crimes as well.
Adam Bodnar is accused of making changes to the Public Prosecutor’s Office without the consent of the President of Poland. After attempting to depose PK Dariusz Barski, he has reportedly withdrawn the delegation of 144 prosecutors. This is described as a serious violation of workers’ rights by the Human Rights Commissioner and carries important legal implications for ongoing proceedings.
The situation is described as increasingly difficult, even catastrophic
— commented former Deputy Minister of Justice Marcin Romanowski of Sovereign Poland in an interview with the wPolityce.pl portal.

Problems in court linked to Bodnar
The circumstances are worsening daily and threaten to unleash significant disruption in criminal proceedings before the courts.
Any decisions made by the newly appointed prosecutors may be subject to challenge in court. They risk losing their effectiveness, which could create chaos and widespread legal disruptions of a magnitude never seen before
— our source notes, adding that crime victims are likely to bear the brunt of this turmoil first.
Consider cases where indictments, interim measures, or arrests could be undermined. Such decisions might be annulled because they were carried out by prosecutors whose delegation was illegal or improper.
— Romanowski cautions and recalls that the day before yesterday in Szczecin, the first signs of this chaos appeared in practice.
One lawyer, duty-bound to advocate for a client, pointed out that an indictment had been filed by a retired prosecutor. He questioned the prosecutor’s powers based on the same arguments Bodnar had raised against Prosecutor Barski.
— the former Deputy Minister of Justice observes. He adds that this is, in his view, “complete nonsense,” because the provisions introducing the Public Prosecution Service Act remain in force.
Lawyers are capitalizing on the situation and using the legal arguments of Adam Bodnar’s political allies to challenge such decisions. This chaos is likely to deepen, with victims of crime expected to suffer first.

Information about Bodnar’s alleged illegal actions within the prosecutor’s office continues to grow.
If Bodnar intends to address crime effectively, he must distance himself from the path he took with Jacek Bilewicz and other prosecutors who may be committing crimes while serving in these positions.
— says Romanowski, noting that a notification in this case has already reached the prosecutor’s office and will likely expand to include additional individuals in senior positions.
The Public Prosecution Service, according to him, has effectively transformed into a group of individuals posing as legitimate prosecutors, even if they are not.
— summarizes the Sovereign Poland politician.
