The accidental death of a key Orlengate witness

He died on 12 September as a result of his crash a month earlier when his car was pushed under a cement carrying lorry by a Belarus driver of another truck. The driver was arrested but soon after released only to disappear. "During the next meeting of the Commission, Karp was to give me information concerning a person related to the oil business. He said he felt very threatened. I did not take it seriously enough," said Zbigniew Wasserman, deputy chairman of the Orlen Commission. Karp informed that recently three employees of the CSW faced attempts on their lives in Belarus, Russia and Georgia. "The case is mysterious so this question [about Karp being murdered] has to be asked. Since the the Chief of the Police was shot outside his own home anything is possible," said the former head of the Intelligence Agency (AW) Zbigniew Siemiątkowski. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 4) M.M.
