Kluska fights on for justice

However, the court also ruled that the businessman will get only zl.5,000 compensation instead of the zl.1.5 million he claimed. Kluska, the former president of Optimus IT company, was arrested in 2002 on the order of the Kraków prosecutor's office for alleged VAT payment irregularities. He was arrested by the anti-terrorist squad who entered his house at 6am and handcuffed him in front of his children. He was later released on zl.8 million bail. He received the money back after 16 months following a favorable verdict of the Supreme Administrative Court. Kluska claims that he would have earned zl.1.5 million if he invested the money spent on bail. After the court verdict he declared that he will lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court. "This was not a fight for money which I am going to allocate for charities anyway. It is worth fighting for those who will come after me so that it was not possible to persecute a citizen in the majesty of the law," stated Kluska. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 22) E.B.
