Warsaw prosecutor could become key witness in Orlengate scandal

The Katowice Prosecutor investigating the Orlen scandal surrounding the arrest of the former CEO of PKN Orlen Andrzej Modrzejewski has discovered that the Internal Security Agency (UOP) suggested to prosecutors that he should be arrested. The information apparently can be confirmed by prosecutor Małgorzata Dukiewicz, from Warsaw, who has just been exempted from state secrets and thus she is now able to be questioned by Katowice prosecutors. She refused to comment on this information. Today the prosecutors are due to question Andrzej Modrzejewski whose official reason for being arrested was related to the prevention of him signing a contract with the J&S company, an oil selling intermediary. The deal was signed anyway by his successor, a former president of Orlen, Zbigniew Wróbel. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A4) M.M.
