Personal effects, such as an expensive watch and cufflinks, of the late president of Poland’s central bank, Slawomir Skrzypek - who died in the Smolensk plane crash in April 10 - have gone missing , it has been revealed.
On 24 June, Skrzypek’s wife, Dorota, informed the Military Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw that personal belongings of her dead husband had gone missing and were not present when she went to identify his body in Moscow after the crash in western Russia which killed Lech Kaczynski and 95 others.
During the identification of Skrzypek’s body at the Forensic Bureau in Moscow his family noticed that a golden Torneau Swiss watch and precious cufflinks which Skrzypek wore on the day of catastrophe were missing, reports the Dziennik Gazeta Prawna daily. The family waited two months before informing the prosecutor’s office, hoping that the missing items would be found and returned.
The Military Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw has not opened an investigation into the case as yet, saying that it should be undertaken by the civilian District Prosecutor’s Office, which is already investigating the theft of credit cards which belonged to another victim of the Smolensk crash, historian Andrzej Przewoznik.
