Kaczyński on Accusations Against Ziobro:

Legally Speaking, It's Simply Nonsense and Hogwash.

Mateusz Nowak

- This is truly a scandalous decision, a decision that, as one can surmise, has a completely political justification. This government is completely incapable of governing in virtually all areas of life and, consequently, is undertaking another operation aimed at shifting public attention towards alleged crimes and offenses of Law and Justice - Jarosław Kaczyński said at a press conference.

- Regarding the nature of the accusations leveled against Minister Ziobro, they fit precisely into the modus operandi they have adopted. This is because they are unable to prove that anyone from our party, apart from those we ourselves identified – and indeed there were such individuals, and appropriate legal steps were taken during our government – has actually stolen anything, that people have enriched themselves - he continued.

- Therefore, they have adopted new constructs that have nothing to do with criminal law, or with law at all. The idea is that if someone transfers funds to social institutions, or even transfers money within the budget, from one account, to put it simply, to another account, then this constitutes misappropriation, and thus it is a very serious crime, hence the 150 million zlotys - he went on to say.

- The Fund for Aid to Prisoners and the Post-Penitentiary Assistance Fund (Fundusz Sprawiedliwości) transferred money to various institutions; it had the right to do so. Sometimes it spent money, which is also part of these accusations, for example, on the renovation of the General Prosecutor's Office. It also had the right to do so and also had the right to move money from its bank account to the account from which the services paid for the purchase of Pegasus - he added.

- Here, I believe, we have an additional reason for what has happened. Namely, the fact that this is about revenge. After all, someone uncovered the criminal activity of all these individuals whom today's courts, which are courts only in name, are releasing from responsibility, are dropping investigations, and these cases, these names [...] are also the premises for conducting this operation - he noted.

- Everything that Minister Ziobro is currently accused of would have to lead to a very severe sentence, a sentence of many years. The only problem is that, from a legal perspective, it is simply nonsense and hogwash. But today in Poland, as is known, the law does not apply - he said.
