On Friday, the prosecutor issued a decision to search for the suspect, former Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro, with an arrest warrant, the National Prosecutor's Office informed.
The National Prosecutor's Office explained in a statement that the letter was issued in order to carry out procedural activities with Ziobro's participation, because – as indicated – they have not been carried out to date due to the failure to determine the suspect's whereabouts.
On Friday, the Warsaw Police Headquarters published an arrest warrant with the image and details of Zbigniew Ziobro on its website.
Ziobro is in Hungary, where in December last year obtained international asylum.
