Prosecutor initiates investigation into Piebiak scandal

The District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw has initiated an investigation into the violation of powers by public officials at the Ministry of Justice. The case concerns an alleged “unacceptable processing of personal data.”
“I hope that in the course of the investigation, perpetrators of breaches of rights and violations of the Personal Data Protection Act will be detected among public officials at the ministry,” Anna-Maria Żukowska, the spokeswoman for the SLD party, said. It is she who notified the Prosecutor’s Office about the possibility of committing a crime by Ministry of Justice officials in connection with the scandal concerning the defamation of judges.
