Today the reporter of the biggest paper in Poland, "Gazeta Wyborcza", decided to discuss the case of Fr. Michał Olszewski. The reporter, Wojciech Czuchnowski, boasted that he wrote his article based on prosecutor's "applications for arrest, court decisions that verified these applications, and decisions to present charges."
That arose question - was there consent from the prosecutor's office? And if so, why? Otherwise, if Czuchnowski did not have consent, he should be liable under the Penal Code for disclosing data from preparatory proceedings before they were disclosed in court proceedings, which is punishable by up to 2 years in prison.
One of the lawyers working on this case does not hide his outrage.
- Today's publication of "Wyborcza" is another leak to the media, including documents that the National Prosecutor's Office was supposed to strictly protect for fear of fraud. Since June, we have not been able to ask for the initiation of an investigation into the famous conference in the Senate and the leak of recordings - wrote lawyer Adam Gomoła, defense attorney of Karolina Kucharska.
We also cannot substantively respond to the allegations appearing in the media because we are bound by the confidentiality of the investigation. Therefore, I will ask the National Prosecutor's Office to make the full content of the explanations of my client - Karolina Kucharska - available to the public, because we really have nothing to hide. If the Prosecutor's Office made the case files available to <<Wyborczj's>> journalists, they will probably consider my request, right?"
