Leading opposition deputies go public on criticism of Rywin prosecutors

Jan Rokita from the Civic Platform (PO) and Zbigniew Ziobro from the Law and Justice (PiS) have accused the leading prosecutors in the Rywin case of, "Telling a brazen lie with a smile upon a face". On Wednesday, the Rywin Commission rejected the request of Ziobro and Rokita to publicly interview Prosecutor of Appeal Zygmunt Kapusta and National Prosecutor Karol Napierski. At a press conference the deputies came up with 13 questions about the prosecutors' work on the Rywin case. The questions are mostly related to the investigation plan which should have been drafted at the beginning of the investigation procedure. Ziobro and Rokita disclosed that such plan exists, but bears the date of April 8 whereas on March 5, Kapusta and Napierski's claimed they had the document. According to Rokita the level of the document can be compared to one of "a secondary school student". "This is dilettantism and manipulation," the prosecutors replied. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.Z.
