The final sitting

On Wednesday, 21 October 2026, the Sejm committee investigating the Pegasus spyware held its 131st and final sitting, at which members voted to adopt the final report. The committee was set up in January 2024 to examine whether Polish authorities and services used the system lawfully between 2015 and 2023. Its chair, Magdalena Sroka, said that no amendments had been filed to the protocol presented at the previous sitting within the set deadline. Six members took part in the vote on a resolution of similar wording, and all six voted in favour. After more than two years of work and hearings, the committee formally adopted its position in the form of a resolution.

“The commission has gathered evidence that speaks plainly to the purchase of Pegasus, its provision to Polish services and its use against people opposed to the then authorities…”

Absent members and objections

Three members were not in the room: Przemysław Wipler of Konfederacja and the PiS deputies Mariusz Gosek and Sebastian Łukaszewicz. Sroka said none of them had submitted a separate opinion on the committee's report. Nobody voted against the document, because the opposition deputies were not present. Witold Zembaczyński of the Civic Coalition (KO) took the view that silence meant agreement, and he expects the same consistent stance in the debate on the report that follows.

“Since no separate opinion and no amendments were filed, it means the commission members absent today fully agree with the report, accept its content and raise no objections.”

Findings and referrals

The public part of the report, presented on Monday, 19 October 2026, said the system was used without the required security accreditation. The final text adds that the software was bought under PiS governments, and that material gathered with it was held at the disposal of an Israeli manufacturer. The committee filed notifications of possible offences against 11 people, including former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro and his former deputy Michał Woś. The alleged offences are exceeding powers or causing property damage. Others on the list are former special services coordinators Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, former CBA head Ernest Bejda and his deputy Grzegorz Ocieczek, former ABW head Piotr Pogonowski, former military counterintelligence chief Maciej Materka, and former Gdańsk regional prosecutor Teresa Rutkowska-Szmydyńska.

Next steps

Separate opinions can be submitted until 5 November 2026 at 12:00. After that deadline, the Sejm marshal will set a sitting at which the report is to be presented in open and closed parts, planned for mid-November. The committee also decided that its internal working notes, which are held in the Sejm's secret chancellery, will be destroyed. The committee formally ends its work only when the report is presented in the chamber, but the 21 October sitting was its last working day.
