Polish prosecutors charge Constitutional Tribunal chancellery director; court calls charges 'absurd'

Poland's National Prosecutor's Office has formally charged the director of the Chancellery of the Constitutional Tribunal, a move the Tribunal publicly dismissed as 'absurd.' The charges deepen the ongoing institutional conflict between the government-aligned prosecutor's office and the Tribunal, which has been a flashpoint in Poland's rule-of-law dispute. The specific nature of the charges is not disclosed, and the Tribunal's characterization suggests political motivation, but the legal basis remains unclear.
