Ex UOP chief to be charged over illegal arrest of PKN Orlen president

The former spy chief allegedly overused his authority and a relevant motion to lift his immunity has already been prepared. Similar charges are planned against UOP deputy head, Colonel Mieczysław Tarnowski who will be questioned by the prosecutor on Friday. The prosecutor is planning to prove that Siemiątkowski allowed his employees to force the issuing of a warrant to arrest Modrzejewski by submitting a false statement that he plans to flee to the USA. "We have nothing to hide. It will be an honor for me to stand in front of the court in the company of Colonel Tarnowski and other [UOP] officers," said UOP former director, Siemiątkowski.
