Polish secret services searched the offices of the oil company owned by alleged Russian agents

Polish secret services logo Polish secret services searched the offices of the oil company J&S owned by two Russian citizens – Grigory Yankelevich and Slavomir Smolkovski, local media reported. It is the biggest oil trading company in the country. Zbigniew Wassermann, Chairman of the Polish Sejm Commission for the Special Services said the offices were raided following the data received on the case of the PKN Orlen. There are serious suspicions that J&S turned into monopoly over the oil supply to Poland from Russia and alleged commissions paid to politicians and officials who helped the company reach its present position. Also it may have skipped paying taxes. Poland's former intelligence chief, Zbigniew Siemiatkowski, said the company is connected to the Russian secret services, in particular through the member of the Board of directors of the Russian Inter RAO Unified Energy Systems Vladimir Alganov, former SVR and KGB agent, who already tried to bribe Polish businessmen in the past. As olish sources note the owners of the company prefer to stay in shadows, never meet the press and manage to keep stable turnover of the company at $2 billion.

You equate "Poland's former intelligence chief ... said the company is connected to the Russian secret services, in particular through the member of the Board of directors ...former SVR and KGB agent, who already tried to bribe Polish businessmen in the past" with Poland having political reasons?

I want you to be on my jury when I go and shoot somebody and when I'm on trial my defense is: I'm being persecuted for "political reasons".

Hehe. I am really beginning to admire the strength of the Poles. They're becoming increasingly tough and, well, I don't know. Help me fill in the blanks fellow Freepers!

And the fact is, that the guys who own J&S are naturalized Ukrainians.
They got Polish citizenship several years ago.

They are musicians. And take a look how quickly they achieved such a position in oil business between Poland and Russia - becoming actually the only middlemen.

Must be great business minds :-))) (sarcasm)

That's hilareous, hey why don't you come back to FR when you actually learn more than sarcasm say the meaning of freedom of speech and right to assemble and protest?
