Smolensk victim to be exhumed?

14.07.2010

A motion to exhume the remains of Przemyslaw Gosiewski, a Law and Justice MP who died in the presidential plane crash near Smolensk on 10 April, has been filed at the Military Prosecutor’s Office.

 

The motion has been filed by Rafal Rogalski, the legal representative of the Smolensk victims’ families, at the widow Beata Gosiewska’s request.

 

Przemyslaw Gosiewski’s widow thinks that the Prosecutor’s Office made a huge mistake by not ordering an autopsy of her husband’s body right after it arrived to Poland from Moscow. Three months after the crash, Russian investigators still have not provided the necessary documents from a post-mortem conducted in Moscow.

 

Beata Gosiewska stresses that there are still a lot of unanswered questions concerning the Tu-154 catastrophe.

 

“I still don’t know what really happened there, what was the cause of his death,” said Gosiewska and added that, after three months, she had only received her late husband’s suit but no notice was attached.

 

Last week, the Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet said that it is possible that an exhumation of Smolensk victims will be conducted if their families request it. So far, Russians authorities have provided the Polish Prosecutor’s Office with a report only on late President Lech Kaczynski’s autopsy.

 

According to Polish law, the exhumation can be conduced only between October and April, says Jerzy Artymiak from the Military Prosecutor’s Office. (mg/mmj)
