Ziobro on the Visa Case: "The Investigation is Being Conducted Exceptionally Intensively, and It Was My Decision"

19/09/2023

- This investigation [into visas] is being conducted exceptionally intensively. Soon, I will present to you similar investigations that were conducted during Donald Tusk's government, and you will see the difference [...]. The investigation has been conducted exceptionally intensively; it has been moved to the highest level of the prosecutor's office. If it had gone to a district prosecutor's office, a prosecutor there often has to handle, especially in Warsaw [...] sometimes several hundred cases. Instead, it went to a prosecutor's office that is least burdened, to a prosecutor who does not have several hundred cases to handle, but only a few cases to handle - said Zbigniew Ziobro at a press conference. - We wanted to immediately eliminate the irregularities after they were detected by the CBA [...]. My opponents from Civic Platform [...] are telling fairy tales, claiming that I am allegedly hindering this investigation, that it is not being conducted intensively due to my decisions, and that there are perhaps 300,000 people who allegedly acquired visas in this way. Both of these claims are lies. This investigation is, in fact, being conducted exceptionally intensively, and it was my decision - he continued. - The facts are that the United Right government shows that pathologies always happen, in various situations. There are no saints, but we act very decisively so that this space of irregularities does not expand to thousands or hundreds of thousands - he added.
