Whistleblower surgeon Emil Jędrzejewski testifies again: 29-page protocol, prosecutors 'satisfied'
Former Southern Hospital surgery chief Emil Jędrzejewski underwent a nearly 10-hour second interrogation today, producing a 29-page protocol that prosecutors called 'very productive'.
Second interrogation concludes
The Monday session started at 9:00 and lasted nearly ten hours, conducted in a climate-controlled room with recording. Jędrzejewski attended with legal counsel Tomasz Jendrasiak, having previously refused to testify without representation on June 25. Prosecutor's spokesperson Piotr Antoni Skiba told reporters afterward that the 29-page protocol was accepted without objections.
The doctor answered all questions. The prosecutors who conducted the interrogation are satisfied with what they could learn.
What the whistleblower alleged
In a June 24 interview with Kanał Zero, Jędrzejewski described systemic flaws in the emergency department of Warsaw's Southern Hospital. He claimed that procedures were performed incorrectly, causing complications and deaths of at least two patients under the supervision of then-coordinator Dawid Kacprzyk. The former surgery chief also alleged that medical records were falsified. At his first interrogation on June 25, he declined to answer questions without a lawyer, submitting only the PESEL identifiers of two deceased patients.

Next steps in the investigation
Skiba emphasized that today's testimony necessitates securing additional medical and organizational documents from the hospital. Last week investigators already seized records and electronic media. The witness list is growing, primarily involving hospital staff.
Two investigations are underway: one concerning fraud of over 500,000 złoty and the other abuse of public office by a public official.Based on these statements, further procedural steps are planned.
Dawid Kacprzyk responds
Kacprzyk, a 28-year-old former Civic Platform councilor who earned 1.6 million złoty during his specialization last year, has provided investigators with materials indicating his current location in Poland and sent what the prosecutor described as 'extensive documentation'. His attorney Jacek Dubois released a statement:
These public accusations are untrue, groundless, and bear the characteristics of defamation. I have already taken legal action and the matter will be brought to proper judicial proceedings.
