HUThe Polish prosecutors have initiated an investigation against Zbigniew Kapiński, the president of the Supreme Court, after several judges accused him of abusing his power. Kapiński claims the proceedings are part of a coordinated political action. He was appointed during the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) government. The National Council of the Judiciary (KRS), responsible for appointing judges, lost legitimacy due to PiS reforms that shifted judicial appointments to politicians, according to multiple Polish and European court rulings. Kapiński, known as a 'neo-judge' appointed by the KRS in 2022, is now under scrutiny for potentially blocking motions to exclude other 'neo-judges' from cases due to their disputed legal standing between May 2024 and May 2026. The investigation began after unnamed Supreme Court justices filed a report on May 28, 2026, just three days after PiS-linked Karol Nawrocki nominated Kapiński as the new president of the Supreme Court, despite many former judges boycotting the process.
