Will Michał Dworczyk lose his immunity?
In response to Adam Bodnar’s announcement regarding the submission of a motion to waive his immunity, Michał Dworczyk stated that he had cooperated with state authorities from the beginning and had not hindered the investigation into the hacking of his email account.
Dworczyk accused Bodnar of a political attack and emphasized that he has the status of a wronged person in the investigation that has been conducted by the prosecutor’s office for three years.
Lifting the immunity of an MEP is not easy
According to the rules, the immunity of an MEP can only be lifted at the request of the prosecutor’s office, which must be approved by the European Parliament. The procedure is complicated and requires formal proceedings at both the national and European level.
This means that even if the prosecutor’s office seeks to lift Dworczyk’s immunity, the process might take many months or even years.
