On Tuesday, the District Court in Warsaw issued a European arrest warrant for Law and Justice (PiS) MP Marcin Romanowski. The deputy is staying in Hungary, where he received political asylum, the Warsaw correspondent TASR reports, according to Wednesday’s court announcement.
By decision, the court granted the prosecutor’s request. The European arrest warrant enables the arrest and surrender of a wanted person in the member states of the European Union. Details of the rationale behind the issuance of the arrest warrant have not yet been released.
