Former transport minister’s trial ends

The court trial against former Transport Minister Sławomir Nowak, accused of providing false financial statement as an MP, ended on Monday. The verdict is due to be announced on Thursday. Nowak’s financial statement reportedly did not include an expensive watch. He resigned last November from the ministerial post and later also gave up his parliamentary immunity. The prosecutor demands a PLN 20,000 fine for Nowak, who has refused to admit guilt.
