ABW's integrity compromised by senior officers

Two officers of the Internal Security Agency (ABW) Marek W. and Jacek S. were handing over confidential state and operational information to an employee of Supreme Inspectorate of Control (NIK). All three were arrested on Tuesday, as the Warsaw prosecutor started investigating the case. Prosecutor Halina Janczarska refused to inform journalists about what kind of information and what issues were involved. W. and S. now face a three year prison sentence for their crime. "The NIK employee was a former worker of the State Security Office (UOP). In our opinion he was inciting ABW employees to commit the crime, and senior ranking officers were involved," said ABW deputy director Zbigniew Goszczyński. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) M.M.
