Marcin Romanowski stated: the funds from the Justice Fund were not embezzled.
Marcin Romanowski gave an interview to wPolsce24 in Budapest. The former deputy justice minister of the PiS government, which will step down in 2023 - who was granted political asylum in Hungary a few days before Christmas last year - stated to the channel's reporters that
money from the Polish Justice Fund was not embezzled.
Romanowski said that the funds, which the media and the prosecutor's office of his country claim were embezzled, were spent on the projects of the Profeto Foundation and several other organizations. “These projects have been implemented according to the schedules. Not a single garage was wasted."
The politician stated that knowing that someone stole or embezzled something is an "absolute lie" and that his accusers will receive an appropriate response, even in the form of lawsuits filed for violation of personal rights, Marcin Romanowski predicted.
As is known, the Domonkos Order of Lengyel asked for an explanation for the year-end search that the police conducted in the order's monastery in Lublin, Eastern Poland, in connection with the criminal case of opposition member of parliament Marcin Romanowski, who fled to Hungary.
The Dominicans took the Polish politician who was granted asylum in Hungary under their protection
Dominican monk Szymon Poplawski, socius (assistant) of the provincial governor, emphasized in a statement sent to the Polish news agency PAP:
The Dominicans do not agree that their order should be "treated as a tool in the disputes between (political) parties".
In his letter, the head of the province also pointed out that the house search was held despite the fact that Romanowski's stay in Hungary had already become widely known.
