Fugitive deputy head of farmers union caught after several weeks on the lam

Marian Zagorny, a deputy head of "S" Rolnicy Indywidualni farmers union may be sentenced to another 10 months imprisonment. Zagorny was hiding from the police for several weeks. He was caught incidentally for speeding. In 1997 Zagorny was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment for spilling imported corn on railways in Zebrzydowice. Today, the court will decide whether to sentence him for 10 months for destroying the corn in Muszyna. Police officers escorting Zagorny from Nowy Targ neglected to take his mobile phone and he took the opportunity to give an interview while in custody. "I did not hide, I was travelling all over Poland," said Zagorny. (Zycie, page 1,5) A.Z.
