WSI officers stampede to denounce one another
The Deputy Defense Minister, Antoni Macierewicz, responsible for dismantling WSI, revealed that there had been as many as 3,000 such statements submitted from both current WSI officers (1,700) as well the ones dismissed by the Left Democratic Alliance. The testimonies point out cases of corruption, illegal involvement of WSI in army tender orders, weapons trade, disclosure of secrets, obstruction of justice, whitewashing crimes, setting up classified co-operation with a businessman or a journalist, and last but not least, producing false evidence so that somebody (that is to say competition) is prosecuted. A special commission appointed by the PM and President Kaczynski will now verify the statements.Macierewicz promised that the results of the commission's work will be made public.
