Prosecutor wants Interior Ministry Deputy's immunity annulled

The Kielce-based prosecutor is to announce its decision concerning Deputy Interior Minister Zbigniew Sobotka. According to unofficial reports the prosecutor is to submit a motion to lift Sobotka's immunity. The Deputy Minister, still absent from work, since the begining of July, the date when Rzeczpospolita reported that he was allegedly the leak of confidential police information and dutifully warned the Starachowice authorities. Sobotka, who was called to come to work yesterday by Interior Minister Krzysztof Janik, did not do so as the prosecutor revealed that there will be extensive investigations against him. The Justice Minister, Grzegorz Kurczuk, has turned to Prime Minister Leszek Miller, announcing that Sobotka will be accused of confidentially leaking information. Miller confirmed that until the case is solved Sobotka should remain on leave. Interior Minister Janik said that once Sobotka's immunity is annulled there is no way he can remain in Ministry employment. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.K.
