Secret service claims Częstochowa Steel Mill privatization was fixed

The Intelligence Agency's (AW) documents show that Marek Dochnal, a lobbyist arrested some time ago, managed to set up a conspiracy of investors which allowed Donbas win the tender. Just two months ago in August, the AW informed the Prime Minister, Treasury and Economy Ministers that the tender might have been fixed, however, the privatization tender was not stopped. According to the AW, a secret agreement was signed in London on August 10 between Donbas and Dochnal's company Larchmont Capital, that ensured Donbas would win the tender, while officially Dochnal was employed by Donbas' competitor LNM. He is also connected with the current Ałganow spy affair as Kulczyk mentioned him while talking to the Russian spy. Dochnal was to negotiate buying a block of PKN Orlen's shares from Kulczyk. Politician Roman Giertych said he would like to see him interrogated as a witness in that case. Dochnal is also accused of bribing Andrzej Pęczak, a Łódź SLD leader.
