Murdered politician – the Smolensk connection?

19.10.2010

Eugeniusz Wrobel - victim of conspiracy?

Though prosecutor’s are claiming that the 30 year-old son of former transport minister Eurgeniusz Wrobel has confessed to his murder over a family dispute, an ultra conservative daily is pointing to a possible connection to the Smolensk air disaster.

 

Nasz Dziennik, part of the Radio Maryja media stable, writes, Tuesday, that former deputy transport minister Eugeniusz Wrobel, died “in mysterious circumstances”.

 

Six months after the Smolensk catastrophe, which killed President Lech Kaczynski, and merely three days before the release of the Russian-led Interstate Aviation Committee’s report on the causes of the presidential plane crash, the paper writes that Wrobel was set to become part of the Polish Prosecutor’s team looking into the findings of the report.

 

As one of Poland’s best experts on computerised aircraft systems, Wrobel, a minister in the Law and Justice government (2005-07) was one of a handful of people that could have given a thorough and meritocratic analysis of the report.

 

Jerzy Polaczek, Wrobel’s boss at the transport ministry, said he has concerns about the murder, and is in disbelief about the son’s supposed patricide.

 

Both Wrobel and Polaczek worked in close co-operation during parliamentary debates surrounding the Smolensk catastrophe, reminds the daily.

 

Meanwhile, police found human remains yesterday afternoon in Rybnik lake in southern Poland where prosecutors claim Wrobel’s son, Grzegorz, told them where he disposed of the body after stabbing his father last Friday.

 

In a court hearing yesterday, however, the defendant made no claim of innocence or guilt.

 

A forensic team is now testing DNA samples to determine the identity of the dismembered body found in the reservoir in Silesia. (jb/pg)
