That is why the prosecutor's office previously asked the European Parliament to waive his immunity.
The decision to lift Daniel Obajtek's immunity was made on October 7. The European Parliament agreed to the prosecutor's request, allowing the proceedings to continue.

The Prosecutor General's Office informed in December last year that the case concerned two contracts for detective services that Orlen was to conclude with a company indicated by Daniel Obajtek. Previously, the same company was to provide other security services to the then president. The detectives were hired by Orlen in the years 2019-2024.
These agreements – according to the prosecutor's office – were intended to serve the private interest of the person recommending Daniel Obajtek and had no economic significance and did not concern the physical and economic security of the company.
