Former military intelligence officer to give evidence in FOZZ affair

Jerzy Klemba, former communist era Polish military intelligence officer, who is willing to testify on the Foreign Debt Servicing Fund (FOZZ) affair, landed at Okecie airport in Warsaw yesterday and announced that he was innocent. Klemba is suspected of frauding together with Janusz Iwanowski Pineira, zl.1.2 million out of metal trader Impexmetal and embezzling zl.800 000 from Bank Depozytowo-Kredytowy in Lublin. For several years he has been hiding out in Venezuela. He paid a bail of zl.50 000 and the court i granted him 'safe conduct', allowing him to testify as a free man. He admits to financing, together with Janusz Iwanowski Pineira the Porozumienie Centrum (PC) with money from FOZZ. The Kaczynski brothers, former PC heads and now leaders of the recently formed Law and Justice (PP) political party, deny. Klemba told them about financing PC from FOZZ money in a recently broadcast TVP documentary. However, most journalists have said that the film was manipulative and unreliable. TVP defended the program, although the television ethics commission recently agreed with the arguments of journalists. (Zycie, p.1,3), M.T
