The District Orisecutor's Office in Kraków issued a communique to respond in that regard. "Along with the the request for conditional discontinuation of the inquiry against Sebastian K. (driver of the car that collided with Szydło's limousine), the prosecution have sent all the gathered evidence in this case to the court," reads the statement.
"The data carriers handed by the prosecutor's office over to the court were undamaged and available for playback. Any damage to them was done in court," the prosecution wrote.

"The said recordings have no evidential features that would affect the reconstruction of events from 10 February, 2017," reads the communique.
