Treasury's lost hotel

Three companies provided the zł.60 million used for the construction of the Senator Hotel, in Dźwirzyna, after a former Minister of Economic Cooperation, Jacek Bucharz from the Polish Peasants' Party (PSL), transferred control of publicly listed state shares to them nine years ago. However, as a result of complex inter-relations between the three companies the Treasury lost control over the assets that are now worth more than half a billion złoty. In the second half of the 1990s control over the companies was taken over by people connected with the left wing, but none of the governments since that time have managed to regain control of the money. Hotel guests are typically politicians and the business elite and one of the hotel's management board members is Maria Oleksy, wife of the disgraced former Prime Minister.
