Deputy Justice Minister accused of lying to Orlen Commission

It was Kapusta who headed the prosecutor office when the decision to detain Andrzej Modrzejewski was made. Kapusta revealed that it was the State Security Office (UOP) which put the pressure on him to request the arrest of Modrzejewski, and it was also UOP which spread false information concerning the alleged attempt of the Orlen president to flee the country. It was said that the current deputy Prosecutor General and Deputy Justice Minister, Ryszard Stefański telephoned Kapusta to speed up the investigation against Orlen. Following this testimony, the Commission decided to inform the prosecutor that Stefański broke the law as a few weeks ago he testified that he had nothing to do with the case.
