Poland: The Internal Affairs Department of the National Prosecutor's Office is investigating the circumstances of the verdicts issued by former judge Waldemar Żurek, the new Minister of Justice.
"The Code of Criminal Procedure clearly and unequivocally excludes judges and prosecutors from cases that concern them. And if Judge Żurek, knowing full well that the prosecutor's office was investigating cases against him, agreed to take over position as the Prosecutor General, then either he has no knowledge of the law, or there's a doubt whether he did so consciously to clear these matters for himself. I don't suspect Żurek of lacking legal knowledge, " commented MP Warchoł.
PN: The behavior of the former judge and current Minister of Justice shows that he was not a proper candidate for this position. He must have known that. Did Prime Minister Donald Tusk?
