Kulczyk contradicts intelligence

Kulczyk denied all rumors connecting him with the detention of former PKN Orlen president Andrzej Modrzejewski and his alleged plans to sell the company to Russia's Łukoil. He also denied that he met with the president of Łukoil in London, in October 2002, when he supposedly discussed the possibility of merging PKN Orlen and the Gdańsk Refinery and then selling it to Łukoil. "The witness [Kulczyk] lied because we have information that it was different. We know that a plan was made in 2002 concerning the sale of shares in Orlen and Gdańsk Refinery, which could have led to Poland losing its sovereignty," claimed Roman Giertych of the Polish Families League (LPR).
