Warsaw's Chief Justice dismisses PiS call for his resignation

The head of Warsaw's Appeal Court, Zygmunt Kapusta has denied all accusations from the Law and Justice (PiS) party, who have claimed that he influenced the decisions made by his local prosecutors. Kapusta has also rejected PiS' demands that he resign from his position. According to PiS, the Śródmieście regional prosecutor is subject to alleged unlawful influence of Kapusta, who executes all the political demands of the ruling party. Zbigniew Wasserman from PiS announced during a special press conference that Kapusta should resign, while the Śródmieście regional prosecution should be divided into two smaller independent units. In order to support their argument PiS members where reminded of the case of lawyer Karol S., who was responsible for the liquidation of the wealth of SDRP, accusations against whom were withdrawn as soon as he resigned from his position.
