Deputy Director General Zbigniew Zaczyński sacked by Interior Minister

Three months ago, Zaczyński went to the Republic of South Africa to attend a conference. His trip was sponsored by a company from which he, on behalf of the Ministry, purchased Xerox machines. The company won tenders organized by Zaczyński's subordinates. Zaczyński was dismissed after Rzeczpospolita requested the Minister evaluate Zaczyński's behaviour. Janik explained that he took the decision since he "no longer trusted Zaczyński". Yesterday, the Ministry published results of financial declarations conducted in the Ministry. The controls disclosed that officials had tried to hide their links with companies. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.Z.
