Corruption and bribery revealed in Szczecin-based army service corp

Rzeczpospolita has learned that the military prosecutor in Szczecin has accused Polish officers working for the Polish-Danish-German Szczecin-based corps of accepting bribes and of irregularities connected with tender bids. The case involves officers working for the support corp, which is in charge of logistics, renovation and cleaning services. The prosecutor has started an investigation based on a report of Miroslaw K. who was employed as maintenance official. He claims that he proposed bribes to officers from companies who, in return, handed contracts down to his company. "I proposed they use the services of two companies owned by my friends which are involved in construction sector. In return I was treated as a sub-contractor for these contracts. One trick was to inflate bills by 30% to 35%. Then, I handed this over to Inspector Henryk S. and Captain Krzysztof T.," said Miroslaw K. Moreover, he claims that when he wanted to reveal the truth to the prosecutor, he and his family lives were threatened. Other accusations include tenders in which there was always one winning company, which belonged to Piotr N. already known to police and local prosecutor. The named officers refused to discuss the accusations with the press (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A4) M.M.
