Three former Lezajsk brewery executives accused of zl.4 million corruption

The district prosecutor's office in Rzeszow has accused three former senior executives of leading brewery ZP Lezajsk of acting against the company's interests and causing it losses of over zl.4.1 million. The three accused are Krzystof W., the former chairman, Marek N., a former member of the board of directors, and Stanislaw G., former chairman of the supervisory board. They are said to have defrauded the brewery during its privatization. According to a Supreme Board of Inspection (NIK) investigation, the brewery was sold at well below its true value. Subsequently the company experienced dire financial difficulties. The state-owned Lezajsk brewery was sold in January 1997. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A10) M.T.
