After accusing Miller of abusing his powers, Kaczmarek is likewise charged

The Tarnobrzeg prosecutor is currently preparing a motion to lift the parliamentary immunity of Wiesław Kaczmarek, who is accused of abusing his powers as economy minister back in 1997 when he backed guarantees for the construction of a fractionation laboratory in a pharmaceutical plant in Mielec. Kaczmarek gave the green light to the investment despite numerous doubts from sector analysts. The investment was to be completed by LFO, a private company with a $32 million loan from Kredyt Bank, which was guaranteed by the state budget in 60%. "We plan to accuse Kaczmarek of working against the public interest," announced the prosecutor. Although the Laboratory was built, the production of drugs never started, while the investor managed to transfer $21 million to private bank accounts and then disappear from the country.
