Sejm Commission finds secret service generals guilty of breaking the law

The Sejm Commission for Secret Services has informed the prosecutor's office about Generals Marek Dukaczewski, the head of Military Intelligence (WSI), and his predecessor Tadeusz Rusak, of the possibility of them having broken the law. The move is a result of the case of Mieczysław Tarnowski a former head of the Internal Security Agency (ABW), whose nomination to be promoted from the rank of Colonel to General was blocked by the WSI, who accused him of cooperating with the communist secret service. The WSI did not send the materials proving the accusations to the Ombudsman, which is what it was obliged to do, but nevertheless used them to block Tarnowski's promotion. However, this is not the end of WSI's troubles since the Sejm Commission decided to send a resolution to Prime Minister Marek Belka pointing to the flaws in the functioning of the WSI, among others the disappearance of documents and the issue of illegal weapons trade.
