Security agency accused of threatening witnesses

The head of the Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK), Mirosław Sekuła, has informed the Prime Minister, the Justice Minister, and the Sejm Speaker, that an official of the Internal Security Agency (ABW) tried to force a witness to falsify their testimony in a case concerning the sale of Huta Zabrze for zł. 750,000. Three businessmen declared during a hearing to investigate whether the privatization was run properly, that they had been threatened by an ABW official that if they did not say what he expected, they would be imprisoned. The Internal Security Agency denied all allegations. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) A.K.
