Biggest political scandal in years fades away
According to a recording of the conversation, his exact words were, "There is a group that called me (...) and this group can simply, on one hand guarantee you a bill and guarantee you the possibility to purchase [Polsat] (...) Because this group holds power (...)". Yesterday Dziennik learned that the prosecutor is not capable of stating who was standing behind Rywin and therefore the most outrageous scandal of the last few years has been abandoned. According to a report compiled by the Sejm, the group included Prime Minister Leszek Miller, Minister Aleksandra Jakubowska, the head of PM's political office Lech Nikolski, president of TVP Robert Kwiatkowski and secretary of Radio and Television Council Włodzimierz Czarzasty. The investigation was discontinued for two reasons, first of all the crime expired, and second of all unlike the Sejm, the prosecutor's investigation failed to uncover who was in the so called "power group".
