Rywin sent home due to ill health after serving just 43 days in prison

He was released from prison after seving only 43 days. The official explanation given by the judge was that the court has to reconsider the appeal of Rywin's defense, which stated that the prison he was kept in was unable to provide him with the necessary medical care he needs after a few serious surgeries he u nderwent recently. Rywin's lawyers argued that after the surgeries he needs to be under a specialist's care, which was not available in the prison. They also stated Rywin and his doctors were mistreated by the prison staff, who also made it impossible for Rywin to receive the proper dozes of prescribed medicines. Rywin will remain free until the court considers the appeal, which might take quite a long time. Rywin was sentenced for two years behind bars for assisting in bribery. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
