On Thursday, Andrzej Duda met the wives of Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vesic – Barbara Kaminska and Roma Vasic – at the presidential palace.
The president announced this He starts the pardon procedure Regarding the former heads of CBA.
– My act of pardon in 2015 was legal. Nevertheless, today the gentlemen are in prison and their lives are in danger every day. Therefore, at the request of the wives of Mariusz Kaminski and Macie Wasik, I decided to start the pardon process. This will be a presidential process, absolutely in accordance with all constitutional standards, the head of state said.
The case of Kaminski and Vesik. “The president admits his mistake”
– The president has his prerogatives and takes responsibility for whom he wants to pardon. Today's decision of the president shows that he admits his mistake, that the earlier pardon decision was inconsistent with the procedures and provisions of the law, – said Deputy Minister of Justice Krzysztof Szmicek in an interview with Interia portal.
We remind you that on December 20, 2023, the court sentenced the former heads of CBA Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vesik to two years of absolute imprisonment for the so-called Land scandal, despite the fact that in 2015 President Andrzej Duda used the amnesty law against them (after an indefinite sentence). PiS politicians do not recognize either the court verdict or the decision to terminate the parliamentary mandate.
Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vesic were arrested on Tuesday evening at the Presidential Palace, where they stayed at the invitation of President Andrzej Duda. PiS politicians were first taken to the police station at ul. Grenadiers, and then in the Grokhov pre-trial detention center. On Wednesday, the media reported that Kamiński and Wąsik They have already been transferred from the Warsaw-Grokhov Detention Center. The PiS politicians were sent to two different prisons – Kaminski was transferred to the pre-trial detention center in Radom, and Vesik to Przytuli Stare prison near Ostrolenka.
