Polish prosecutor withdraws arrest warrant for billionaire Ryszard Krauze
Poland's chief prosecutor has withdrawn an arrest warrant for the country's fifth richest man Ryszard Krauze, a newspaper Dziennik reported today citing the prosecutor's spokesman.
In August the prosecutor tried to detain and press charges against Krauze, who controls several Warsaw-listed stocks including biotech company Bioton and oil venture Petrolinvest, as part of a wider investigation into leaks that undermined a corruption probe and led to a collapse of the ruling coalition.
Krauze has stayed abroad since the scandal broke out. He stepped down as the chief executive of Poland's largest computer-services company Prokom and agreed to merge it with a local peer Asseco Poland, in which he also has a stake.
The arrest warrant was withdrawn on November 15, the newspaper quotes prosecutor's spokeswoman Katarzyna Szeska as saying. The decision means Krauze will not be detained on his return to Poland. Link
