Fellow prisoner saves tycoon Kazimierz Grabek after suicide attempt

One of Poland's richest men, Kazimierz Grabek, who is in prison facing corruption charges, is reported to have made a suicide bid. According to Rzeczpospolita, he was saved by a fellow inmate. Although the judicial and prison authorities were reluctant to reveal any information about the incident, prison psychologist Halina Lewandowska-Opala said that in her opinion it was a genuine attempt to take his own life, caused by progressive depression. Grabek, who was arrested on March 7, faces up to 10 years in prison, if found guilty of financial irregularities. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A6) P.W.
