– Activity is important in this model of behavior. Here you cannot count on it “happening” on its own. This is a classic adversarial dispute, much depends on how Poland prepares for this case, emphasizes lawyer Paplaczyk, adding that British courts “attach fundamental importance to the rights and freedoms of each person prosecuted”. – They do not give in to political pressure, as evidenced by the case of Julian Assang. Although the superpowers demanded his release, British judges did not take this into account.
Defense of Michał K.: “A political question”
For lawyer Paweł Szopa (he agrees to give his full name), “the case is clearly political in nature.” – Investigation materials and explanations of other suspects are being leaked to the media by the prosecutor’s office. Minister Bodnar, the Prime Minister, members of the government and politicians speak publicly about the case and triumphantly announce that the suspects will be brought back to the country and held accountable. In this situation, how can the suspects count on a fair trial? – asks Bartosz Lewandowski, the businessman’s lawyer.
And he considers that his client “is involved in a case of an obviously political nature and, in such cases, the impossibility of openly presenting what is contained in the investigation materials makes it extremely difficult to present the facts”. – Contrary to the narrative, no one accuses Mr Szopa of any theft, corruption or misappropriation, and the criminal law assessment focuses only on the margin he obtained for the power generators, which in fact was approximately 20 percent, and not 400 percent, as publicly disclosed – argues lawyer Lewandowski.
