President of Rokita is arrested following in the footsteps of financial director

President of Brzeg Dolny based chemical plant Rokita, Miroslaw G. was detained by the police over accusations of several irregularities during the privatization process of Jelchem in Jelenia Gora. Miroslaw G., who managed Jelchem until may 2001, placed close relatives on the supervisory board, which allowed him to transfer Jelchem's assets to new companies of his own creation - assets which he later used to buy a majority stake in Jelchem itself. The court ordered Miroslaw G. to pay a zl. 1 million bail or face three months on remand. The president is sharing the fate of financial director of Rokita, Leszek Z., who was arrested a few week ago and charged with accepting bribes in exchange for the sale of company property on uncompetitive terms.
