Ziobro resigns from parliamentary immunity

Zbigniew Ziobro submitted a letter officially releasing himself from member of parliament immunity, during Wednesday's Sejm session. This was only the last in a long string of incidents involving Ziobro over the last few weeks.

The move allows the public prosecutor's office to officially charge Ziobro of exceeding his power as Minister of Justice.

Ziobro had allegedly allowed PiS party leader Jarosław Kaczyński access to confidential information regarding the so-called "fuel mafia" investigation sometime at the end of 2005 or beginning of 2006. At that time, Kaczyński was not yet Prime Minister.

Ziobro claims that he did not violate any laws and the PiS accusations are only to serve as a political attack.
