Kulczyk likely to be quizzed on moves to line-up his team inside Orlen

The commission summoned Kulczyk for a hearing on Tuesday. Kulczyk is a key witness in the matter, in view of his meeting in Vienna with alleged Russian spy Vladimir Alganov, widely documented by Polish secret services, where he is said to have discussed a possible takeover of Orlen by Russian oil companies. Meanwhile, on Friday it was revealed that on February 8, 2002, one day after Orlen president Andrzej Modrzejewski was apprehended by secret services and the day when the company's supervisory board voted to dismiss him, Kulczyk met with then Prime Minister Leszek Miller. According to anonymous sources quoted by the Polish Press Agency (PAP), Kulczyk and Miller were both keeping a close check on Modrzejewski's dismissal from Orlen in order to put their own people at the helm of the company.
