FBI involved in Sawicka corruption case?
Reports in the Polish media hint at the possible involvement of the FBI in the corruption case with former MP Beata Sawicka.
According to Zbigniew Chlebowski, head of the Civic Platform (PO) parliamentary club, if these rumours turn out to be true, then it would be a scandal because the law concerning the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) does not provide for cooperation with other intelligence agencies.
The daily Gazeta Wyborcza and Radio ZET reported this morning that the arrest of the former Civic Platform member of parliament on corruption charges by the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) involved the participation of the FBI.
The FBI allegedly lent the CIA a helping hand by creating an official background for a fictitious company Avantis and having one of its officers pretend to be an American businessman.
Once the Americans found out that their assistance was used in a political power struggle, they limited their cooperation with CBA, claims Gazeta Wyborcza.
Former MP Sawicka and the mayor of the town Hel, were caught red handed while taking a bribe in a 'sting' operation prepared by the CBA on October 1.
FBI allegations will be investigated, says Tusk
In a related story, Prime Minister Donald Tusk admits that he is aware of the allegations about the cooperation between the Polish Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) and the FBI.
According to the PM, the case is now being investigated.
Donald Tusk said that he will refrain for now from judging the alleged actions of the CBA head Mariusz Kaminski. He said that he will have the matter thoroughly investigated and if it turned out that the CBA has broken the law or was disloyal to the Polish state, Kaminski will be immediately dismissed.
