Investigation planned into "suspicious" zl.26 million sale of RON Leasing

The Industrial Development Agency (ARP) is to undertake an assets' appraisal of RON Leasing, after concluding that its sale last month took place under suspicious circumstances. The company was sold by the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled (PFRON) to potential bankrupt CLIF Investment. PFRON director Waldemar Fluegel, who subsequently lost his job, went ahead with the sale without launching a tender and without informing either the supervisory board or government officials. The zl.26 million PFRON received for RON Leasing is said to be significantly lower than the company's true value. Commenting on the affair, Jolanta Babiuch, the government official responsible for disabled persons, points out that it is difficult to question the legality of the agreement. (Rzeczpospolita, p.
