Dochnal refuses to testify to Orlen Commission over corruption accusations

His proxy, Piotr Kruszynski, made an official statement declaring that Dochnal intends to use his constitutional right to silence. Marek Dochnal was summoned before the Sejm Commission due to the content of the statement he gave to the prosecutor. According to unofficial information, in his statement Dochnal accused Wiesław Kaczmarek, the then Treasury Minister, of taking a million dollar bribe for the privatization of the Ożarow cement plant, and another bribe for the privatization of the Tyskie breweries. Allegedly, Kaczmarek was also to receive zł.7 million from the Rotch and Łukoil groups. Meanwhile, Kaczmarek has denied all the accusations. (Gazeta Wyborcza p. 9) M.G.
