Most people in Poland don't even understand how rail has been privatized and shattered into half a million companies. To a regular person, if it's a train, it's "PKP" (Polish National Railways) - therefore something the government is responsible for.
I don't think Law and Justice will be happy about some corp screwing with infrastructure and having the voters blame the government for it.
Why not both? What better way to underline the point than pressuring to make an example out of Newag?
EDIT:
PiS has been at the core of political turmoil for the past decade or more, but rail transportation has been an issue for much longer. It's legendary at this point, it transcends politics, and portals you straight into the 1990s. So I feel it would be in the self-interest of everyone in the government to throw the book at Newag right now.
After the recent elections that might not be the safest thing to say if you wanted to avoid litigation. PiS didn't do so well and lost their majority and is likely to end up in the opposition.

I hope you are right. I'm maybe too cynical, thinking something along the tune of:
"If only more of OUR judges were in place, you wouldn't see such corruption, dear people."
