Kulczyk launches legal action in battle for PKN Orlen

Bengodi Finance, a company affiliated with Poland's richest mogul, Jan Kulczyk, has filed a lawsuit to void the recent overhaul of oil giant PKN Orlen's supervisory board which significantly reduced Kulczyk's influence in the firm. Bengodi, a minority investor in Orlen, claims that two of the new board's members, its head Jacek Bartkiewicz and Krzysztof Żyndul, cannot serve on a board of a corporation such as Orlen, because they hold positions in state enterprises. Meanwhile, the new supervisory board could vote on the dismissal of Orlen president Jacek Walczykowski, considered to be Kulczyk's man, as early as this Monday. (Puls Biznesu, p.10) T.J.
