Leading ex-minister formally charged with money laundering

Heller has resigned a month ago, and currently is out of jail on bail of zł. 200,000. Heller resigned when he leant that the prosecutor and the Internal Security Agency (ABW) were investigating money laundering when he was the head of EL-Net, a large fixed-line phone operator. "I feel innocent. I was shown in bad light," he told the media at the time, adding that he was resigning because he does not wish the case to be used against the government. The prosecutor has also charged several other people in connection with the case, and said the list is not closed yet. "There are definitely less or more recognized names connected to the crime," said people running the case, adding that publisher Stella Maris was used by different companies to launder several million złoty.
