Suspect minister returns to work, but still to be questioned by prosecutor

Interior Minister Krzysztof Janik yesterday confirmed that his deputy, Zbig niew Sobotka, is returning to work on Monday and will be at the prosecutor's disposal. "Sobotka has been out of the office for over two months," said Mi nister Janik. Sobotka is currently accused of being the reason for leak of information in the Starachowice affair. In the beginning of July, the media reported that the then Democratic Left Alliance Member of Parliament, Andrz ej Jagiełło, called party colleagues in Starachowice to warn them of a plan ned police raid. Jagiełło allegedly was informed of the secret by Zbigniew Sobotka. After the issue was publicized, Sobotka took time away from active politics, on sick leave, but never was actually questioned by the Kielce pr osecutor who is investigating the case. Krzysztof Janik also announced that until the case is solved he will take over most of Sobotka's responsibiliti es. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A1) A.K.
