FBI allegations will be investigated, says Tusk

29.05.2008

Prime Minister Donald Tusk admits that he is aware of the allegations about the cooperation between the Polish Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) and the FBI.

 

According to the PM, the case is now being investigated.

 

Donald Tusk said that he will refrain for now from judging the alleged actions of the CBA head Mariusz Kaminski. He said that he will have the matter thoroughly investigated and if it turned out that the CBA has broken the law or was disloyal to the Polish state, Kaminski will be immediately dismissed.

 

The daily Gazeta Wyborcza and Radio ZET reported this morning that the arrest of a former Civic Platform member of parliament on corruption charges by the Central Anticorruption Bureau (CBA) involved the participation of the FBI. According to the daily, once the FBI found out that their help was used in a political power struggle, it limited its cooperation with CBA. (mo)
