Prosecutors are investigating former intelligence heads accused of acting with the prime minister’s approval during Tusk’s tenure in that job

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS), has brought prosecutors under the conservative government’s control.

He says Tusk may face charges over the 2010 plane crash that killed his brother Lech, who was Polish president at the time

The other 27 EU governments supported a second term for Tusk
