Rywim claims his rights and now life are under threat

Lew Rywin refused to testify on Thursday to the Prosecutor's Appeals Office in Warsaw which is investigating the case of the alleged bribery in relation to Agora. This was his third visit to the prosecutor. On the previous occas ions, in January and February, Rywin only said that a simultaneous investig ation by the prosecutor and the Sejm Commission violated his rights to defe nd himself. Lew Rywin was also questioned by the Warsaw District Court, as he declared that he has been receiving death threats. "He said he was conta cted by a man, who was a witness to a meeting of two other people who were discussing how to kill him," said Maciej Kujawski, the Prosecutor's spokesm an. The coming days will show whether a formal investigation will be started on the issue. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) A.K.
