The acting national prosecutor, Jacek Bilewicz, announced the dismissal of five regional prosecutors from Katowice, Kraków, Łódź, Poznań and Rzeszów. This move adds to a broader shift in leadership within the country’s Public Prosecutor’s Office, following a previous wave in which ten regional and district prosecutors were relieved of duty.
According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office (PK), the decision by First Deputy Attorney General and Acting National Prosecutor Jacek Bilewicz marks a continued realignment of leadership across several offices. The official statement described the developments as part of a broader transition in management at the prosecutor’s offices, signaling that changes at the top levels are ongoing and persistent.
Names of the prosecutors affected
The individuals affected by the latest round of dismissals are: the Regional Prosecutor in Katowice, Tomasz Pietreczek; the Regional Prosecutor in Kraków, Marek Woźniak; the Regional Prosecutor in Łódź, Jarosław Szubert; the Regional Prosecutor in Poznań, Jacek Motawski; and the Regional Prosecutor in Rzeszów, Jerzy Dybus.
Earlier in the week, the Justice Ministry had announced the dismissal of ten regional and district prosecutors from their posts and delegations, underscoring a sustained push to refresh leadership within the system.
The ongoing changes have drawn commentary about the broader direction of the judiciary and prosecutorial oversight in the country. Observers note that such leadership reshuffles can influence case handling, the pace of investigations, and the prioritization of certain types of prosecutions, though official statements emphasize a goal of improving efficiency and accountability within the office.
These developments are part of a larger pattern seen in recent years as authorities seek to implement reforms, adjust strategic priorities, and reinforce governance across prosecutorial bodies. While the specifics of each case are not disclosed, the public position remains that leadership changes are a standard instrument for organizational renewal and alignment with contemporary legal policies.
Analysts in Canada and the United States who monitor European judicial reforms may view these events as indicative of how national prosecutors respond to political and administrative directions. The focus remains on how leadership transitions affect the consistency of legal proceedings and the enforcement of public safety policies in different regions.
