Signature

Mariusz Kamiński (born September 25, 1965 in Sochaczew) was the head of the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) in Poland until October 2009. Earlier he was a member of the Sejm elected on September 25, 2005 getting 9142 votes in 19 Warsaw district, as a candidate on the Law and Justice list.

He was also a member of Sejm 1997-2001 and Sejm 2001-2005.

Kamiński was dismissed (as the head of CBA) on 13 October 2009 by prime minister Donald Tusk.

Kamiński was sentenced to three years in prison for abuse of power in March 2015 but had appealed. After the 2015 Polish parliamentary election the Polish President Andrzej Duda pardoned Kamiński, the President's spokesmen argued that people who fight corruption "deserve special protection." In March 2016, the appeal court while examining the appeals raised during the case, in regards to the decision above of the President, annulled the judgement and discontinued the proceedings. On May 31, 2017, Supreme Court in an adopted resolution, recognised that pardon as ineffective. Despite the opinion of European Commission, CJEU, Venice Commission, Association of Polish Judges "Iustitia" and the United States Department of State, Polish Constitutional Tribunal ruled (with the one dissenting opinion) that the constitutional right of grace as a concept broader than pardon also includes acts of individual abolition. Afterwards, Kamiński became the head of the secret services as a minister without portfolio.

Since 14 August 2019, he has been the Minister of the Interior and Administration, in addition to coordinating Polish secret services, which he had done previously as a minister without portfolio.
