The deceased Krzysztof Olewnik with his sister, Danuta Olewnik-Cieplinska

All parliamentary clubs have supported the idea of setting up a parliamentary investigative commission to look into the case of the abduction and murder of Krzysztof Olewnik, one of Poland's most spectacular mysteries of the recent years.

Krzysztof Olewnik, son of a businessman, was kidnapped in 2001 at age 27. Two years later, after his kidnappers received ransom, he was tortured and brutally murdered.

The activity of law enforcement services throughout the case was scandalously negligent. Evidence was not secured or analyzed, whereabouts of the victim not properly searched for, documents and proofs disappeared or were accidentally destroyed, suspects evaded arrest and finally three crucial witnesses committed mysterious suicides in jail. The family is convinced all this couldn't have been coincidental.

It was the major opposition Law and Justice Party who came up with the idea of a parliamentary commission to look into the case. All parliamentary clubs supported the idea. Leszek Szymowski, investigative journalist of the WPROST daily suggest the commission is sure to stir up controversy, as there are some political entanglements in the case.
