- If a person is accused of committing a specific crime, and an indictment is subsequently formulated against that person, then the entirety of the collected evidence material is categorically made available before the indictment is formulated. This is stipulated by the Code of Criminal Procedure - Dariusz Korneluk stated in an interview with Monika Olejnik on TVN24's "Kropka nad i", referring to the case of Paweł Rubcow, accused of espionage. - We live in a free world today, and everyone has the right to defense […]. This is not a summary proceeding. Everyone has the right to know what they are accused of and what material has been gathered against them - he pointed out. Korneluk conveyed: - I have spoken with the prosecutor leading this investigation, who assured me, firstly: this classified material is classified primarily for formal reasons, which was also confirmed to me today by the head of the Internal Security Agency (ABW). Secondly: the content of this classified material, in terms of substantive law, did not surprise the accused in any way. What did Rubcow see? “No names or findings and circumstances that could harm the interests of the Republic” - From these materials, he learned what he was involved in, meaning, what we know and why we are accusing him of committing a crime under Article 130 § 1 of the Penal Code. There are no names, no findings, and no circumstances that could harm the interests of the Republic - emphasized the National Public Prosecutor. - There are no operational techniques, no methods used. From this material, the accused learned what Polish services know, and how he passed information to the Russian Federation. Only that. Therefore, he learned about his own activities, what he was doing to the detriment of both Ukraine and Poland. Nothing more - he continued. “He did not have access to the data of officers” - The suspect – now the accused – did not have access to the data of the officers who conducted this proceeding, to the individuals involved, or to the methods of operation - he assured.
