Kulczyk and Giertych present conflicting reports in Orlen Commission
Yesterday, Poland's wealthiest man Jan Kulczyk spent the whole day testifying before the Sejm Commission investigating the so-called Orlengate affair.
Kulczyk denied all rumors connecting him with the detention of former PKN Orlen president Andrzej Modrzejewski and his alleged plans to sell the company to Russia's Lukoil. He also denied that he met with the president of Lukoil in London in October 2002, when he supposedly discussed the possibility of merging PKN Orlen and Rafineria Gdańska and then selling it to Lukoil. "The witness [Kulczyk] lied because we have information that it was different. We know that a plan was made made in 2002 concerning the sale of shares in Orlen and Rafineria Gdańska which could have led to Poland losing its sovereignty," claimed Roman Giertych of the Polish Families League (LPR), who yesterday submitted a request to disclose all confidential documents concerning the project of selling the oil sector to the Russians.
