Police looking for Poland’s Ryszard Krauze

A warrant for the arrest of Ryszard Krauze, one of Poland’s richest men, has been issued by the Polish prosecutor's office.

Reported in TVN 24 and the Rzeczpospolitia newspaper, Marek Zieleniecki, a spokesperson for Krauze’s software company, the IT giant Prokom, said that his boss was ‘on holiday’ but he did not know where he was.

“He could be in Poland, or abroad,” he said.

The spokesman denied reports that, on July 5, Krauze met with Janusz Kaczmarek, the former interior minister who was arrested this morning in connection with an enquiry by the Anti-Corruption Bureau into alleged illegalities at the agricultural ministry. It is thought that prosecutors think it is possible that the leak to the Anti-Corruption Bureau took place during a meeting of Kaczmarek, Prokom’s President Ryszard Krauze and Self defense’s ’s MP Lech Woszczerowicz in the Warsaw Marriot hotel the day before the ‘sting’ operation.

Prosecutors are said to be in possession of an analysis that localizes mobile phones, which established that the mobiles of Kaczmarek, Krauze and Woszczerowicz were in one place at the same time.

Kaczmarek has since denied the claims and has pointed to the justice ministry as being the source of the leak, which has prevented arrests being made into the affair and obstructed the course of justice.
