Four people accused in tape scandal case

The Warsaw District Prosecutor has filed an indictment against businessman Marek Falenta, his assistant Krzysztof Rybka and two waiters in the so called tape scandal case. The prosecutor has charged Falenta with 80 criminal offenses, 66 of which are related to the illegal recording of politicians at a Warsaw restaurant. His assistant was accused of helping in the scam. "The evidence gathered hasn't allowed for the charging of others," said Renata Mazur, a spokeswoman for the prosecutor's office. The tape scandal broke last year, when weekly Wprost published transcripts of illegally recorded conversations of top government politicians. In June, Zbigniew S., a controversial businessman, published documents from the investigation into the matter on his Facebook profile. The documents consisted of transcripts of witness hearings and included names, addresses, telephone numbers, as well as other sensitive information. The businessman was detained and charged with disclosing secrets related to an open investigation.
