Olaf Dastych: Was My Son Poisoned in England?
By David Dastych 15/12/06

In mid-December, at 04:00 a.m., I received a sudden phone call: “Your son, Olaf, died tonight.” It was a terrible shock. “Could that be real?”, I thought in the first moment, still emerging from a sound sleep. “Maybe this was a bad dream?” But it wasn’t. I called my ex-wife, Kalina, and she burst into tears. “How did it happen?,”I asked her. And she told me about the sudden death of our son, witnessed by Agnes, his fiancée. It took only a few minutes, and an emergency team arrived very soon, but nothing could be done. Olaf died almost at once. How this could happen to a young, active and full of vigor man of 24? Nobody could explain. Doctors claimed it was a very strong infarct, but they were not sure. Agnes told us, he died in her arms. She was deeply shocked, and so we all were.

There was no autopsy made on the body. Olaf’s mother refused it. The funeral was arranged on the fifth day, with a crowd of people attending and Olaf’s friends playing music for him in the funeral house. It was a frosty winter, and a new part of the huge Northern Graveyard in Warsaw, still bare, with almost no trees and bushes, resembled a snow-covered field in Siberia.

Homecoming from Bradford Olaf Dastych graduated with honors from the Warsaw Higher Economic School (SGH) in 1996. A day after his graduation ceremony, he went to England, where he was granted a scholarship for the MBA studies at the Bradford University. This was not his first term abroad, as he had a chance to study in Denmark before. But this time he expected to accomplish much more: a full post-graduate Master of Business Administration course that could open a bright professional career for him in Poland and elsewhere. He worked very hard. Ged Yardy, his friend at Bradford MBA, wrote to me after Olaf’s death: “I think we were one of the best teams on the MBA. Olaf was central to this, his razor-sharp mind demonstrated an intelligence and maturity beyond his years. I’m sure he would have gone on to do great things. He was well liked by all.”

Why these enemy forces would hit my son? A defector from the Soviet secret services, whom I had met, warned me that: “They never forget”. There is a real possibility that these enemy elements could have revenged themselves on me, poisoning my son with a non-traceable substance, causing a natural death. All leads point to England as a possible place of the poisoning. And the timing of this attempt on Olaf’s life is also ominous: almost exactly two years after my accident in France, in mid-December 1994.

Alexander Litvinenko: "killed for sensitive info on Kremlin boss"
Died from polonium-210 poisoning

A former Russian KGB major says Alexander Litvinenko was killed because he had collected sensitive information on a high-ranking Kremlin official.

Yuri Shvets, a former Russian spy now based in America says Alexander Litvinenko was killed because he had collected sensitive information on a high-ranking Kremlin official.

Shvets made the revelation in a story published by the Sunday Times in Great Britain and said Litvinenko, a former Russin spy had been doing due diligence work for a British company on the official, who was facilitating a business deal.

Shvets believes Litvinenko had put together a damaging eight-page dossier with details on the official which may have ruined a multi-million-dollar deal with the British company.

The claims shed new light on the activities of Litvinenko, who died on November 23 after being poisoned with polonium-210, a radioactive substance.

His death has been the subject of several theories, including claims that he was murdered in a Kremlin plot to silence his criticism of Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Shvets is a former KGB major who now works from Washington, advising businesses on corruption and security in the former Soviet Union.

He has been interviewed by detectives from Scotland Yard. He gave his first full interview last week to his friend Tom Mangold, a journalist, in a programme for BBC Radio 4.

Shvets says Litvinenko came to him for help after a British security company had offered him a $100,000 contract to do due diligence work on five Russian figures.

One of the five, whom Shvets refused to name, is said to be a powerful Kremlin official.
