Interpol refused to initiate searching for MP Marcin Romanowski, a suspect on the Justice Fund – spokeswoman of the Prosecutor General, prosecutor Anna Adamiak, said on Tuesday. B. The deputy head of MS has been in Hungary since December last year, where he obtained political asylum.


As the first information about the fact that Interpol will not be looking for Romanowski's red note, RMF 24. In December last year, the prosecutor's office sent a request to the National Interpol office at the Police Headquarters to initiate international search for Romanowski's international search together with a request to publish a red interpol. The application was forwarded to the Secretariat of Interpol in Lyon.
“The Secretariat General of Interpol made the decision not to publish the search for PiS MP Marcin Romanowski,” Prok. Adamiak said on Tuesday.
She added that “the secretariat does not indicate the argument justifying this decision, at this moment it uses the principle of confidentiality.”
The red note is information that a person is sought after by the authorities of one of the member states of Interpol, who marks the person to locate this person and stop them.
Marcin Romanowski – former deputy minister of justice, currently a PiS MP – is suspected in the investigation of the Justice Fund. The prosecutor's office accuses him of, among others Participation in an organized criminal group and manipulating competitions for funds from this fund, which is supervised by the Ministry of Justice.
At the beginning of December last year, the court decided on a three -month detention against Romanowski. Since the services could not find him, a warrant was issued behind him, and later also a European arrest warrant. At that time, it turned out that Romanowski obtained political asylum in Hungary. Even before the decision about ENA, the Police Headquarters submitted the prosecutor's request to initiate the search for Romanowski so -called Red note to the General Secretariat of Interpol in Lyon.
In the second half of March, the head of MS, Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar estimated that we are dealing with obstruction in the execution of ENA by Hungary. Therefore, as he added then, Poland will use all funds and political and political at EU level. He informed that he had applied for intervention to Michael Schmidt, who is the head of Eurojust (European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation, the European Union Agency for Cooperation of Justice in criminal matters based in Hague – PAP).
Originally, the prosecutor's office presented 11 allegations to Romanowski. In March this year, the prosecutor's office asked another request to be tilted to the deputy head of MS – this was necessary because of the new eight allegations that the prosecutor's office wants to make to him. Therefore, in February this year. The Sejm again repealed Romanowski immunity.
In mid -March, the Hungarian parliament introduced amendments regarding cooperation in criminal matters with EU Member States. The weekly “HVG” assessed that the parliament passed new legal provisions to protect the former Polish deputy minister of justice from issuing it by the Polish side. The new regulations give the Prosecutor General the opportunity to appeal against a possible court decision to transfer Romanowski to the Polish side. The Curia, the Hungarian Supreme Court, could revoke the decision of the lower court to transfer the policy wanted in Poland.
Romanowski and PiS politicians believe that the investigation into the Justice Fund is “political revenge using the prosecutor's office.” (PAP)
