Kurczuk allegedly threatened to break paper that labeled SLD 'gangsters'

Chief Editor of the daily, Andrzej Mielcarek, recorded the conversation and informed both the Internal Security Agency (ABW) and the prosecutor about it. During the discussion Kurczuk also threatened to forbid several thousand SLD members in the region from buying the paper. The former Justice Minister said that the article was full of lies and was comparing SLD members to gangsters and people who will do anything to reach power. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.K.
