Addiction Society likely to resell palace for huge profit at expense of the gov't

the gov't The Treasury Agricultural Ownership Agency (AWRSP) has sold a palace in Biesowice for a mere zl. 16,000. Five years ago the Drug-Addiction Society (TZN) bought the property for that amount on the condition it create an international training center to fight drug addiction in Eastern Europe. However, the palace still stands empty. It is guarded and kept by three people and the land was subleted to a German company. AWRSP had five years to buy the palace back if TZN did not fulfill its requirements but that period expired in June. TZN can now sell the palace on the free market. "Everybody was quiet since there were many jobs promised. It looks like TZN got a nice gift," said Biesowice residents. TZN Kielce president, Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) deputy Ryszard Ulicki is surprised that so many people are interested in the case. "We are not selling it yet, but it's likely," he said.
