Jerzy Urban in court confirms Kwiatkowski was behind Rywin

Jerzy Urban announced during the questioning that Rywin told him that it was TVP President Robert Kwiatkowski who sent him to Adam Michnik with the proposal for a $17.5 million bribe in exchange for a favorable media bill for Agora. Urban also excluded any possibility that Prime Minister Leszek Miller was in any way connected to the scandal. Adam Halber revealed that when he was discussing the issue with Rywin, the accused said that everyone would benefit from the fact that Agora would take over Polsat. "First of all Agora would have a television channel, Solorz would have money and would get rid of his problem, and you will have peace and quiet," Halber cited Rywin as saying. Solorz confirmed that he took part in several meetings in the Prime Minister's Office to discuss amendments in the media bill. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) A.K.
