Polish lieutenant-colonel granted retrial on Soviet and Russian spy charges

The Supreme Court yesterday suspended the four year prison sentence of military intelligence officer lieutenant-colonel Czeslaw W. who was found guilty of spying for the Soviet Union and Russia. The case will return to the lower court. In May the court in Warsaw found Czeslaw W. guilty of passing secret information from the fall of 1988 until spring 1993 to the KGB. Now Czeslaw W. will be released to await a new trial. He is forbidden to leave Poland until the trial is completed. (Zycie, page 8)
