Den militære anklager Mikolaj Przybyl forsøgte tidligere i dag at begå selvmord med et pistolskud i forbindelse med et pressemøde i byen Poznan.
Efter en række kritiske spørgsmål fra de fremmødte journalister, bad anklageren dem forlade rummet, så han "kunne lufte ud", skriver flere polske medier.
Skud i hovedet
Da han var alene lød et skud, og da deltagerne i pressemødet vendte tilbage til rummet, fandt de anklageren liggende hen over et bord, blødende fra hovedet.
Mikolaj Przybyl blev hurtigt kørt til hospitalet og overlevede tilsyneladende skuddet. Mandag eftermiddag meddelte hospitalet, han blev bragt til, at han er ved bevidsthed og beskriver hans tilstand som "god".
Ulovlig efterforskning
På pressemødet skulle Mikolaj Przybyl svare på spørgsmål vedrørende oplysninger om, at den militære anklagemyndighed ulovligt har prøvet at få fat i oplysninger om jorunalisters mobiltrafik, herunder sms.
Udløber af Smolensk
Sagen er en udløber af efterforskningen af Smolensk-katastrofen.
Et flystyrt ved Smolensk i Rusland kostede i april 2010 den daværende polske præsident og 95 andre fremtædende polakker livet.
Anklagemyndigheden har forklaret, at den var på jagt efter en person som havde lækket oplysninger til pressen.
På jagt efter kilde
De lækkede informationer skulle angiveligt have forsinket efterforskningen af Smolensk katastrofen.
Indtil videre har anklagemyndigheden afvist, at den har indhentet oplysninger om journalisternes mobiltrafik.
Under pressekonferencen erkendte Mikolaj Przybyl, at anklagemyndigheden havde indhentet journalisters kontaktoplysninger for at finde deres kilde.

Jeg er dansker og har boet 5 år i polen jeg savner nogle mere dybdegående artikler om polen på dansk, har dog fundet noget mere information på engelsk, men grunden til at Pan Przybyl forsøgte selvmord er overhovedet ikke nævnt i jeres artikel og får let såden artikkel til at fremstå som polske informatione, man har ikke helt fra officiel side endnu vænnet sig til at at informationer skal frigives og ud til folket, og det er med til at fastholde den ogivenhed og mistro på medier som alle mine polske venner har, de ringer alle og spørger mig hvad som er sandt da jeg har mange flere og sande nyheder fra Danske og andre europæiske medier, men er ellers glad for at læse nyheder her på Polennu

WARSAW, Poland (The Blaze/AP) — A military prosecutor in western Poland shot himself in the head Monday after defending the work of his office and rejecting planned reforms, officials and media said Monday.
Col. Mikolaj Przybyl survived the shooting that happened inside his office in the city of Poznan, minutes after he read a statement to reporters and then asked them to briefly get out.
Col. Mikolaj Przybyl asks for a few moments.
Przybyl is a deputy head of the prosecutor’s office in Poznan and the head of a local department investigating organized crime in the army. Moments before his attempted suicide, Przybyl had defended his investigation into a 2010 plane crash that killed the President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and much of the country’s top political leaders, according to USA Today.
A broadcast by TVN24 station, whose camera was left rolling after reporters left, shows Przybyl walking across his office and out of sight before a gunshot can be heard.
Watch the footage of the press conference from The Telegraph, which includes the sound of a gun being cocked offscreen and the subsequent shot:
Here’s the EuroNews report explaining the situation:
Hospital director Leslaw Lenartowicz said Przybyl is in stable condition, conscious, and his life is not in danger. Przybyl suffered injuries to the face, he said.
Chief Military Prosecutor, Krzysztof Parulski said that Przybyl was one of the “best prosecutors” and a “man of honor.”
President Bronislaw Komorowski and Justice Minister Jaroslaw Gowin were closely monitoring an investigation into the shooting, their offices said.
Some lawmakers are calling for a special parliament probe into the case, saying that Przybyl’s statement suggests a massive corruption problem in the army.
Moments before shooting himself, Przybyl read a statement to reporters in which he objected to plans by Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet to put military prosecutors under civilian authority. Seremet said that such a decision was under discussion, but has not been made yet.
Przybyl also said that military prosecutors were proving themselves competent in the many probes that they have opened into organized crime cases inside the army. The probes primarily concern suspicions of corruption in buying equipment for Poland’s troops on missions in Afghanistan and, earlier, in Iraq.
Przybyl denied media suggestions that the military prosecutors broke the law while investigating the 2010 crash of the presidential plane in Russia when President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others were killed. The media have reported that the prosecutors had unlawfully sought billing lists and text message content of mobile phones of some reporters to determine the source of leaks to the media.
Seremet and Parulski denied that prosecutors were eavesdropping on reporters. Seremet defended the investigators’ right to see billing lists — but not the text messages — if vital for a probe. He said a court is to decide whether the prosecutors were entitled to seek reporters’ billing lists.
