‚Judge Maciej Rutkiewicz was suspended for a month for applying the CJEU judgment and the Supreme Court resolution. He was suspended by a nominee of Minister Ziobro. Rutkiewicz is the sixth judge in Poland suspended for applying EU law and in clear violation of the CJEU order.’

‚Judge Maciej Rutkiewicz of the Elbląg District Court has been suspended for one month on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, by the decision of the president of the Elbląg court Agnieszka Walkowiak, an appointee of Minister Ziobro’s ministry.’

‚Walkowiak was known for taking away judges’ robes to prevent judges from taking them to the March of a Thousand Robes in January 2020. She also used the court’s car to transport files to commute from her home to work and back. She was driven by the court’s driver. In addition, under the current government Walkowiak was promoted to district court.’

‚Now President Walkowiak promptly suspended Judge Rutkiewicz for dismissing the case against the prosecutor overseeing the Amber Gold investigation.’

‚Judge Rutkiewicz dismissed it because he found that the illegal Disciplinary Chamber had not effectively waived the prosecutor’s immunity. So there is no consent to prosecute her. The judge’s suspension is a blatant and premeditated violation of the CJEU’s July 14, 2021 interim order.’

‚Judge Rutkiewicz is the sixth judge suspended in recent weeks, in defiance of the 14 July 2021 CJEU safeguard.’

‚Judges are organizing a picket in support of Judge Maciej Rutkiewicz on Wednesday, November 10, at 3 p.m. in front of the Elbląg District Court.’
