Mariusz Dubowski, once a prosecutor in Warsaw, now contends with the possibility of returning to his former role after a rapid reshaping of personnel across the public prosecutor’s office. He acknowledges that battles in court lie ahead, and he also fears potential reprisals as the legal process unfolds. The atmosphere around the reforms remains tense, and Dubowski understands that his bid for reinstatement could trigger strong reactions from colleagues and rivals alike, even as he stays focused on the principle of justice and the integrity of the office.

Doubt and vigilance accompany every step Dubowski takes. He recalls his service as District Prosecutor in Warsaw, where he participated in parliamentary matters and immunity considerations, including debates over the lifting of immunity for Members of Parliament. He emphasizes that the legal framework guiding those actions was clear and that any suggestion of political bias in the Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office would be unfounded if investigators acted strictly within the law. The core point he makes is that investigators respond to concrete violations, not political agendas, and that accountability remains the guiding principle, regardless of the identity of the individuals involved.

The prosecutor will pursue reinstatement in court
Dubowski has stated that his unit has stood at the forefront of prosecutorial work, tackling serious offenses that often involve figures linked to influential circles. He asserted his intention to challenge the personnel changes through legal channels and to seek reinstatement at the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw. He underscored that the recent reshuffles appeared to be conducted with an expedient, fait accompli approach, leaving him with questions about the legal justification behind such moves. Nevertheless, he remains determined to press forward, filing the necessary legal actions to restore his position and protect his professional standing as a lawyer who believes in due process and fair treatment throughout the system.
Dubowski added that he would also pursue safeguards for the legal process itself, aiming to ensure that any action taken against him is tied to lawful grounds rather than conjecture. He stressed that his pursuit of justice is not personal but grounded in the broader obligation to uphold the rule of law within the public prosecutor’s office. The focus is on restoring a clear, lawful path for his career and reinforcing the accountability mechanisms within the office so that actions taken against prosecutors are transparent and justified.
