Marek Grzelewski, the former rector of the Warsaw School of Journalism
(WSJ), was arrested on Friday on charges of embezzling zl.7 million and
forgery of documents. Bail has been set at zl.350,000. The prosecution has
blocked the account of Grzelewski's private company in Bydgoszcz, into which
money from WSJ was transferred. The current WSJ rector, Prof. Antoni
Kaminski, says the school will demand a refund for all money and property as
well as compensation from Mr. Grzelewski. Grzelewski is currently rector of
the School of International Relations and American Studies in Warsaw;
previously he headed other institutions of higher education in Poland.
Grzelewski faces up to 10 years in prison. (Rzeczpospolita, p.A5) M.T.
