Telephone call leads to recovery of National Remembrance Institute laptop

An anonymous telephone call has led to the recovery of a laptop computer stolen from the Bialystok office of the National Remembrance Institute (IPN). The laptop, which was found at a bus stop in Warsaw, disappeared on October 17 from the office of the head of the investigation department at the IPN office in Bialystok, prosecutor Radoslaw Ignatiew. Among material contained on its hard drive was confidential information relating to the judicial investigation into the murder of Jews at Jedwabne 60 years ago. "I've checked file by file and there are no indications that any information is missing or has been modified. Everything is in place, apart from the identification plate, which is a sign that the laptop was going to be sold," prosecutor Ignatiew said. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) M.T.
