Poland formally requested the extradition of former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro from the U.S. on Monday, accusing him of abuse of power, diversion of public funds to political allies, and spying on opponents. Ziobro, a member of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, is known for pushing through sweeping judicial reforms that gave the government broad influence over public prosecutors and disciplinary control over judges. Poland's current government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, has pledged to hold PiS accountable for corruption during their rule from 2015 to 2023. The U.S. has not yet responded to the extradition request.

In Ireland, Isobella Perrie Sullivan, a 25-year-old law student from Co Kildare, appeared via video link from the Dóchas Centre in Dublin before Monaghan District Court on Monday. She was charged with possession of explosives at a special sitting of Trim District Court in Co Meath on Friday evening after a bomb was intercepted in a car near the border. Sullivan wore a white-colored T-shirt with the logo “faith over fear” during her court appearance. Her defense solicitor claimed she had been asked to take a bag to the north and had not been aware of its contents, adding that she had been “manipulated.” Sullivan was granted bail with strict conditions, including a €15,000 independent surety, surrendering her passport, staying at an approved address with a curfew of 9pm to 7am, having a mobile phone available 24/7, and signing in each day to Naas garda station. Gardaí also requested that she not have any contact with anyone in the Saoradh political party or the New IRA. However, Judge Raymond Finnegan said he had not received an application to approve the surety, and Sullivan was remanded with consent to bail. She is next set to appear before Monaghan District Court on 7 August.

In Portugal, a 56-year-old man of foreign nationality was detained by the Polícia Judiciária (PJ) for allegedly starting a forest fire in the Mata de São João da Caparica, in the municipality of Almada, Setúbal district. According to the evidence collected, the suspect allegedly started the fire in an area of dense tree and shrub vegetation and then tried to leave the scene. However, he was seen by firefighters who responded to the fire and was identified by the Guarda Nacional Republicana. The fire consumed an area of about 50 square meters and was contained thanks to the quick intervention of the firefighters. The man was detained on Friday and presented before the Judicial Court of Almada, where he was given a preventive prison sentence. The Mata de São João da Caparica is part of the protected landscape of the fossil cliff of the Costa da Caparica, in the municipality of Almada.

On Monday, the Federal Criminal Court handed down its judgement in the Karimova case. It convicted a former banker of money laundering and imposed a fine on Lombard Odier.
