Debski counterattacks Zycie's allegations of financial irregularites at UKFiT

After the daily newspaper Zycie published allegations of mismanagement of funds in the Sports and Tourism Office (UKFiT) by UKFiT's head Jacek Debski, he retaliated by revealing UKFiT had donated "well over zl. 100,000" to Zycie for political reasons. Zycie was quoting a report by the Supreme Board of Control (NIK), which accused UKFiT of spending public funds in restaurants and inappropriate investment-financing procedures. For example, UKFiT agreed to spend zl. 34 million on modernization of the Wislaw Krakow football stadium, even though the club did not present a construction permit to UKFiT. When asked to comment on these charges Debski declined, and instead said UKFiT had donated money to Zycie and had paid for two Solidarity Election Action (AWS) deputies to go on attractive UKFiT foreign trips, even though the deputies had nothing to do with the UKFiT or sports in general.
