It's about the Justice Fund scandal. – All the evidence allowed the prosecutor to assume a sufficiently justified suspicion that MP Zbigniew Ziobro had committed 26 crimes – said prosecutor Adamiak. She added that “the prosecutor established based on the evidence that Zbigniew Ziobro founded and led an organized criminal group.”

This shows the daring nature of the allegations and the determination of the criminal gang that rules Poland today – said the former Minister of Justice. The politician responded to the prosecutor's request to waive his immunity and for consent to his provisional arrest.
