MEP Korwin-Mikke charged with slapping MEP Boni

The prosecutor's office sent an indictment against MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke to the District Court for Warszawa-Śródmieście on Monday, said a spokesman for the district prosecutor's office in Warsaw Przemyslaw Nowak .

Controversial Polish right-wing MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke slapped MEP and former Administration and Digitization Minister Michał Boni in the face on July 11, 2014. The incident took place at a meeting for Polish MEPs hosted by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Korwin-Mikke said that he had fulfilled a promise he had made earlier in a newspaper interview. When he was preparing a vetting law years ago, Boni insulted him and never apologized, the politician explained. The ministry referred the case to prosecutors. Although Korwin-Mikke voted for his immunity to be waived, he hasn't plead guilty. He explained that in his opinion "slapping is not a crime, but a dishonoring act."
