Poland’s Prosecutor General has submitted a request to the Sejm (Parliament) seeking permission to detain and forcibly summon MP Michał Wos of the PiS party. The request stems from Wos’s failure to appear before prosecutors investigating allegations of abuse of power. The case relates to actions taken during Wos’s time as Deputy Minister of Interior and Administration. Polish law requires parliamentary consent for the detention or compulsory summoning of a sitting MP. The Prosecutor General’s office stated that repeated attempts to secure Wos’s voluntary cooperation have been unsuccessful, necessitating the formal request to the Sejm. This move is likely to spark political debate, as the PiS party currently holds a majority in parliament, potentially influencing the outcome of the vote. The Sejm will now consider the request and decide whether to grant permission for Wos to be compelled to appear before the prosecutors.
