Director of Interior Ministry's political office has breached Anti-Corruption Act

Janusz Ocipka, director of the political office of the Interior Minister, Krzysztof Janik, contravened the Anti-Corruption Act by working at the same time in the ministry and in company management boards. Moreover, according to Rzeczpospolita, it turns out that Ocipka was connected with companies trading in coal, which were founded at the beginning of the '90s, and owe over zł. 1 million to state companies. Minister Janik must have known about Ocipka's businesses, as he was a member of the supervisory board of one of them. "I treated it as a way of learning about the realities of the Polish economy," said Janik. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A5) M.M
