Warsaw, 18 July 2023.
The Management Board of the Association of Prosecutors Lex Super Omnia expresses a categorical opposition to the manipulation by the Minister of Justice – the lawyer General of the public and to the presentation of unreliable information about the circumstances which led to the conviction by the territory Court of the Old Town in Poznań in Case No. III K 230/21 of Mariki M. for committing an act with Article 13 § 1 kk in conjunction with Article 280 § 1 kk in conjunction with Article 57 a § 1 kk in the conviction of 3 years imprisonment.
The information provided by the Minister of Justice – the lawyer General at the press conference on 15 July 2023 does not coincide with the factual findings and their assessment, as contained in the explanatory memorandum of 26 August 2021, No. III K 230/21, which is available in the public domain.
The actions of the Minister of Justice – the lawyer General have the characteristics of consciously misleading the public in order to discredit the court as an authority separate and independent from another authorities. They represent only a presentation of the Minister of Justice’s own views, the lawyer General, which do not coincide with the findings made by the court regarding the circumstances of the alleged action. They are besides subject to errors in the assessment of the criminal and criminal conduct convicted in order to fill the criteria of the crime of attempted hooligan-like robbery.
The Minister seems to deliberately disregard the fact that the punishment imposed by the court for the act she committed is solely and solely due to the provisions of the Code of Punishment, amended under the dictate of this Minister of Justice and could not be lower in the current legal state. Furthermore, he seems to have failed to see the condemned attitude that confessed to the act, but did not feel guilty, showing contempt and superiority toward the victim.
According to the Board of the Association of Prosecutors, Lex Super Omnia, the request for the vetting of a final judgement of the court by the politicised KRS, which, due to an appeal made by the co-defendant, was subject to review by the appeal court, constitutes purely political action linked to the upcoming election campaign. It can besides be perceived by the public, as a approval to express its views through force and to advance attitudes that disregard the legal order in force in Poland. It is unacceptable for the Minister of Justice of the lawyer General to argue that the service consequences should be borne against prosecutors who are investigating, directing and supporting the indictment. For the appropriate performance of duties in no way can the consequences be drawn, but only the Minister of Justice of the lawyer General for the usage of this case for ideological reasons for peculiar political interests deserves condemnation. specified an attitude besides gives further evidence of the request to release the prosecution and the Polish judiciary from specified a Minister of Justice, and even more clearly indicates the request to separate this function from the lawyer General.
