Obrzyganie własnych sądów to dla polskiego rządu za mało, czas na irlandzkie:

Poland attacks High Court over delayed extradition

The Polish government has attacked the High Court decision to delay the extradition of a man over concerns about the rule of law and judicial independence in Poland.

Deputy Justice Minister Marcin Warchol said that, by not handing over 31 year-old Artur Celmer on suspected drug trafficking charges, Ireland was “delaying the punishment of a serious drug mafia criminal sought across Europe”.

But opposition leaders and leading lawyers hit back at this interpretation, blaming the delay on the Polish government, whose far-reaching reforms of the judiciary alarmed the High Court into seeking guidance from the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

The court’s decision means extraditions to Poland from across the European Union may come to a halt, according to Irish lawyers.

There are more than 50 applications for extraditions to Poland under the European Arrest Warrant system before the Irish courts, the bulk of which will now be stayed.

The deputy minister said the decision to grant a European arrest warrant request - or not - must be based on concrete facts.

“It is incomprehensible that general, abstract deliberations, projections and speculations become the basis of such an important decision as the handover of a criminal sought in the whole of Europe,” said Mr Warchol to the PAP news agency.
