A notification of the possibility that the president and municipal officials had committed a crime was submitted to the District Prosecutor’s Office in Bolesławiec on 25 February. The case has now been transferred to the District Prosecutor’s Office in Zgorzelec. The decision to transfer the case to Zgorzelec was made by the Regional Prosecutor in Jelenia Góra.
The proceedings concern abuse of authority by a public official, Article 231 § 1 of the Penal Code:
A public official who, by exceeding their authority or failing to perform their duties, acts to the detriment of the public or private interest is subject to imprisonment for up to three years.

As a result, they notified the prosecutor’s office.
