Janusz Lazerowicz, the president of the XIV NFI national investment fund, told Piotr Głowala a few days before the latter was murdered that he was digging his own grave, as it were, as was Grzegorz Wieczerzak, the former president of PZU Życie, who stands accused of a multimillion zloty embezzlement and who was earlier this week implicated in a plan to blackmail various NFI heads. Rzeczpospolita has learnt that Głowala had approached Lazerowicz with financial demands in return for not revealing information which would seriously hurt his reputation. One of two recorded conversations between Lazurowicz and Głowala, who was murdered in Warsaw last week, reveals that the dispute between Wieczerzak and the head of the NFI fund was one between partners who used to work together. It has also been revealed that it was allegedly Private Equity Poland, a company which manages a number of national investment funds, that paid the bail that enabled Wieczerzak to walk free from remand.
