Blacklist of indebted Polish companies and individuals appears on Internet
On Tuesday night the law firm Jachnicki & Partnerzy published a list of
indebted Polish companies on the Internet. Tomasz Jachnicki, president of
Jachnicki & Partnerzy, declined to reveal any details. The blacklist will
contain 500 names, including those of Polish politicians, businesspeople
and figures from the fields of culture and entertainment. According to
Jachnicki, a previous list forced many companies to start paying their
debts, although it could not be published since it would have infringed
Polish privacy law. The new list will be published on an American server,
since Polish law law does not forbid foreign entities from processing
personal data on the Internet. Many foreigners have indicated interest in
the list, including Italians, Norwegians, Germans, and Americans. (Zycie,
