Kulczyk mysteriously loses contact with Poland as he is summoned by the court

The prosecutor's office, which is currently conducting two investigations connected with Kulczyk's meeting with the Russian spy Vładimir Ałganow in Vienna in 2003, wanted to interrogate Kulczyk on October 25, but he did not show up. However, the appeal court's spokeswoman Małgorzata Glapska-Dudkiewicz said that, "We should not say he did not show up since we even don't know if he received our summons." In her opinion, he could not have received the summons as he was abroad when it was sent to him. She also added that the prosecutor's office is planning to send another summons to Kulczyk, but has no information on the date when Kulczyk is coming back to Poland. Nevertheless, the Sejm Commission investigating the Orlen affair optimistically plans to interrogate him next Tuesday. It was revealed on Wednesday that Kulczyk Holding sold a part of its stake in PKN Orlen and, owning less than 5% of its shares, is not obliged to inform the public on its operations in the company.
