– Yesterday, the National Public Prosecutor's Office received a notification from Adam Bodnar regarding a justified suspicion of criminal offense committed by prosecutor Michał Ostrowski, who formally serves as his deputy. In this notification, Adam Bodnar points to the suspicion of exceeding authority by Michał Ostrowski – said Prosecutor Przemysław Nowak at a press conference.

"A Series of Circumstances Justifying Suspicion of Committing an Offense"
– The justification points to a series of circumstances that justify this suspicion of committing a crime. These are largely circumstances consistent with [...] the circumstances that formed the basis for the decision to suspend the prosecutor from his official duties. It primarily concerned the prosecutor taking official actions contrary to current service practices and regulations – he indicated.

As he listed: – Acceptance of a notification from his colleague Bogdan Święczkowski, followed by the initiation of an investigation without adhering to any of the rigorous procedures applicable in the prosecutor's office, meaning without obtaining the decree for this case [...] and subsequently carrying out further official and procedural actions, essentially consisting solely of interrogating 9 witnesses. None of the documentation produced by Mr. Ostrowski contains any case number.

"Investigation Launched"
– This notification was forwarded today to the Internal Affairs Department of the National Public Prosecutor's Office, and today a prosecutor from this department launched an investigation into an act under Article 231 – informed the spokesperson for the National Public Prosecutor's Office.

"Suspicion of Privatization and Rigging"
As he continued: – The justification for this initiation and the description of the act are more or less identical to the notification. [...] To put it in a simplified way: there is a suspicion in the case that it involved a type of private proceeding, a type of privatization, as well as, in my opinion at least, a type of rigging between the notifying party and the person who initiated an investigation "alongside" the prosecutor's office, having an obvious environmental and private interest in initiating and conducting this investigation in such a manner.
