Kulczyk uses his right to silence as Orlen Commission deprives him of his proxy

He refused to testify after he was deprived of his proxy Prof. Jan Widacki. The Commission voted to exclude Widacki from the hearing after Deputy Zbigniew Wasserman from Law and Justice (PiS) brought the Commission's attention the issue of Secure Service, a charity created by Widacki. The bone of contention were some of Secure Service donators, namely the wife and daughter of Jeremiasz Barański, a well known, now deceased, mafia baron, and the vague contacts of Widacki with Aleksander Żagiel and Andrzej Kuna, two businessmen who were previously interrogated by the Commission. Kulczyk is allowed to choose a new proxy to represent him and has been summoned to appear in front of the Commission again on December 8. (Rzeczpopolita p. A1; Gazeta Wyborcza p. 1) M.G.
