Request for the waiver of the immunity of Robert Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz

The European Parliament decided to waive the parliamentary immunity of Robert Jarosław IWASZKIEWICZ (EFD, PL).

Parliament recalled that the Prosecutor-General of the Republic of Poland forwarded a request from the Polish General Inspectorate of Road Traffic for waiver of the immunity of a Polish Member of the European Parliament, Robert Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz, in connection with a speeding offence.

From the circumstances of the case it appears that the alleged offence and the ensuing prosecution clearly have nothing to do with the position of Mr Iwaszkiewicz as a Member of the European Parliament and that there is no evidence of fumus persecutionis (that is to say, a sufficiently serious and precise suspicion that the request has been brought with the intention of causing political damage to the Member concerned).

Therefore, the European Parliament decided to waive the parliamentary immunity of Robert Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz.
