Parafianowicz leaves PGNiG board

Andrzej Parafianowicz has resigned from the post of deputy CEO at gas giant PGNiG, the company said in a statement on Thursday. He did not disclose reasons for the decision. The company’s supervisory board had suspended him as deputy CEO on June 18 this year, due to “the need to solve issues related to published statements he had made about the company.” Parafianowicz was appointed deputy CEO of PGNiG as of December 31, 2013. He was responsible for corporate affairs. He had earlier been a deputy finance minister. Recently, his name appeared in the press in connection with the wiretapping scandal. Parafianowicz was illegally recorded while discussing tax inspection avoidance with former Transport Minister Sławomir Nowak.
