Media Bill - another case of corruption without a guilty party?

On Saturday the Sejm Rywin Commission sent a motion to the General Pro secutor to start an investigation into who made unauthorized changes to the draft media bill. This was the result of a five-hour long confrontation between four lawyers, who in March 2002 amended the bill that had been accepted by the government. The motion is one of the biggest accomplishments of the Commission so far. The motion read, "Some facts were revealed, which suggest that the document's reliability was violated". The crime committed involved erasing the phrase "or newspapers" from some part of the bill. If the charge is upheld, then it could result in prison sentences for the guilty parties. However, it is unknown who actually altered the bill. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M.
