PiS controls, via their puppets: the parliamentary majority, the president, all ministries, the attorney general, the courts, the supreme court, public TV and radio, all important companies in important sectors (oil, gas), most of regional radios and press, schools etc.
They ignore the law on daily basis without blinking an eye, spend money like there's no tomorrow (often throwing tens of millions into mud), pass hastily written laws after midnight, and are extremely arrogant with everything they do. They don't talk with free press anymore, or if they do, they repeat scheduled sentences sent in the morning by sms from the leadership. They don't answer the questions; they talk monologue. There was no such arrogance in power in Poland ever, even under communist rule.
The only things they don't control are: senate (48-52), and presidents of big cities + regions; but they steadily amend the laws and funding to make the regions weaker and centralize the power further.
They have almost absolute power at this point, and the only way someone will get prosecuted until they stay in power is someone who tries to threaten their status quo; however since their parliamentary majority is minimal, they're hiding under the carpet everything they can to avoid losing the 51%.
