Premier uses the secret police to arrest his opponents

At 6:30 am they knocked on the door of former police chief Konrad Kornatowski, half an hour later they detained former Interior Minister Janusz Kaczmarek, and just a few moments after that the president of insurance giant PZU, Jaromir Netzel was also arrested. Later during the day the national prosecutor Dariusz Barski announced that yet another person is in "the circle of suspects", namely one of the wealthiest Poles, Ryszard Krauze. The famous businessman is currently abroad so all that the prosecutor could do was issue an arrest warrant. Moreover, Self-Defense deputy Lech Woszczerowicz received a request to appear at the prosecutor's office as he could not have been detained due to his Parliamentary immunity. All five figures allegedly met on July 5 in the Warsaw Marriot hotel where the prosecutor claims the information concerning the planned ABW raid was revealed. Opposition politicians were shocked by the  arrests. PO leader Donald Tusk likened them to, "The mafia settling its accounts", while LPR leader Roman Giertych said that "The Premier is arresting his opponents. The soviet methods that PiS is using must be resisted. Poland is becoming a police state". (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1; Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1; Dziennik, p. 1) A.K.
