Netzel appointed as new PZU CEO and displaces Mech

Netzel is an attorney at law from Gdansk, who also represents the Treasury on the supervisory board of Dalmor, a sea-food company based in Gdynia. The rumor has it that Netzel is a good friend of the Kaczynski brothers and was appointed to clear PZU of cliques and cronies appointed by the last government. The post was offered to many prominent businesspeople after Law and Justice won the autumn elections, but they refused. The appointment of Netzel means Cezary Mech, the former deputy finance minister and who was tipped for the job, has been dumped by his own party. (Puls Biznesu, p. 16) J.L.
