Losing patience with the patient
Kulczyk stated Russian spy Vladimir Alganov did not say that Wiesław Kaczmarek and Maciej Gierej took a $5 million bribe from the Russian oil company Łukoil, in return for help in trying to acquire the Gdańsk Refinery.
This statement surprised many because Kulczyk had earlier been sure the bribe was one of the subjects of the conversation. "Neither did Alganov say it, nor did I say that he did," Kulczyk said during the recent interview.
However, back in 2003 Kulczyk's information on the bribe was the reason for a secret operation launched by the Internal Security Agency (ABW) aimed at checking if the politicians were involved in some form of corruption. The investigation cleared them of the alleged offences.
Asked how the news appeared in the ABW's notes, Kulczyk replied: "I didn't write the note."
During the interview Kulczyk confirmed his earlier statements on his meeting with the League of Polish Families (LPR) leader Roman Giertych, stating that Giertych promised 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.
