G-8 sale suspended, but Kulczyk may still have a chance

The sale was heavily criticized by Sejm deputies from both the ruling coalition and the opposition as well as Wiesław Kaczmarek, a former treasury minister. Unofficially, it is believed that Jan Kulczyk's El-Dystrybucja offered close to zł.1.2 billion for a 25% stake. Treasury Minister Zbigniew Kaniewski said that a decision whether group will be sold to El-Dystrybucja will be taken tomorrow. (Parkiet, p. 1) D.W.
