Polish disciplinary prosecutor charges neo-judges over flawed verdicts and judicial appointments

A disciplinary prosecutor has initiated proceedings against a judge for issuing a verdict despite being recused, marking a potential shift in accountability for judges appointed under the previous PiS-aligned National Council of the Judiciary (neo-KRS). Simultaneously, 14 other judges face disciplinary action for their involvement in supporting the neo-KRS, highlighting ongoing institutional friction regarding the legitimacy of judicial appointments in Poland.
