Criminal procedure reforms: stronger defense rights, protection for minors, and victim support

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Better protection for minors: Mandatory presence of a defense lawyer during interrogations of suspects under 18 and easier access to public defenders. Ban on illegal evidence: Courts are prohibited from using evidence obtained through illegal acts (e.g., unlawful wiretapping or coerced confessions). Protection of professional secrets: Stricter rules for exempting doctors, journalists, and lawyers from professional secrecy; searching legal offices requires the presence of a bar association representative. Changes to temporary detention: Temporary arrest cannot be used for minor offenses (punishable by up to 2 years in prison), and a 12-month limit is set before the first-instance court ruling. New theft threshold: Theft, embezzlement, or property damage up to PLN 800 is classified as a petty offense rather than a crime. Support for victims of terrorism: A new system provides immediate psychological help, information, and coordinated support for victims of terrorist attacks. Lower penalties for false testimony: The maximum penalty for giving false testimony is reduced from 8 to 5 years in prison.
