Kulczyk's latest relevation on the Orlen investigation

This is a surprising change of mind as earlier Kulczyk was sure the bribe was one of the subjects of the conversation. "Neither he (Alganow) said it, nor I said that Alganow did," assured Kulczyk. However, back in 2003 Kulczyk's information on the bribe was the reason for a secret operation of the Internal Security Agency (ABW) aimed at checking if the politicians were involved (it turned out they were not). Asked how the news appeared in the ABW's notes, Kulczyk replied, "I did not make the note." During the interview Kulczyk confirmed his earlier statements on his meeting with the Polish Family League (LPR) leader Roman Giertych, stating that Giertych promised him to treat him "more gently" in the Orlen Commission in exchange for information discrediting President Kwaśniewski. Kulczyk added that he has a witness who observed his talk with Giertych. Kulczyk said he would do everything to be present at the Commission's November 30 hearing. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A3) D.W.
