The Institute of Truth wrote that in December 2014, Daniel Obajtek testified as a witness in the trial of Roman and Józef Lis, who were accused of fraudulently obtaining around 200 thousand złoty in EU subsidies. According to the institute, Obajtek denied at that time that he was a silent partner of TT Plast and stated that he owned shares briefly, many years before assuming the office of the mayor of Pcim. He was also said to have testified that as mayor he did not hold any positions in the company nor managed it, and did not collaborate with an employee named Szymon. The institute reminded that in February 2021, "Gazeta Wyborcza" published recordings of conversations from 2009 in which Obajtek allegedly discussed clients, taking over contracts from Elektroplast, and matters concerning TT Plast. The newspaper reported that employees of the company referred to Obajtek as a silent partner. In 2016, Roman Lis filed a report of suspected false testimony and attached recordings. The prosecutor's office refused to initiate an investigation after about a month, finding that there were no signs of a prohibited act. According to the Institute of Truth, Obajtek denied breaking the law, admitted that he had once been a shareholder and knew the owners, but maintained that as mayor he did not work for TT Plast or any other company, and the recordings did not prove a crime. Orlen's office described the publication as a manipulation based on recordings of undetermined integrity. The institute assessed that the testimonies about the lack of professional relations with the company and not managing it did not withstand confrontation with the recordings. #InstytutPrawdy #Obajtek #prawo #korupcja (translated)

Adam Czarnecki recommended the entry of Niebezpiecznik criticizing the draft act implementing the DSA, which — as he wrote — is bad. According to Czarnecki, the draft stipulated that the President of the Office of Electronic Communications could issue orders to remove or block content. Until now, it was an independent civil court that decided whether a statement violated the law or someone's rights, in proceedings where both parties could defend themselves. Czarnecki claimed that according to the draft, an official could independently assess the legality of content, the proceedings would primarily rely on evidence provided by the complainant, the author of the entry would not have the guarantee of being heard before the block, and the order would be subject to immediate execution. He assessed that an appeal to the administrative court would not solve the problem, as the court would only verify the formal correctness of the office's actions, and the content could disappear from the internet for many months before the case is considered. According to Czarnecki, the draft also included the protection of personal rights. He warned that a councilor, mayor, minister, or company that deemed a critical article or comment offensive could use a fast track to file a request to the office instead of seeking redress in court. He also pointed out that this procedure did not cover the leaks of personal data of ordinary citizens. Czarnecki accused Donald Tusk of exploiting the current attacks in schools to introduce regulations. He referred to Krzysztof Bosak's term, who called it "disgusting exploitation of tragedy." He appealed for improvements to the law instead of its quick enactment. He added that the ABW can already block content of a terrorist nature under EU regulation 2021/784 and a law signed by President Andrzej Duda in 2024. #DSA #Ustawa #WolnośćSłowa (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that the Polish National Foundation, despite earlier announcements about its disappearance, is still operational and plans new projects.

Patrycja Anna Tepper wrote that AfD and BSW in Saxony-Anhalt jointly called for a special session of the Landtag on October 16 to lift sanctions, resume gas supplies from Russia, and halt aid to Ukraine.

Tepper also wrote that Braun and his associates, including a certain Steffen Kotré, whom she described as pro-Kremlin, were calling for the opening of the Nord Stream gas pipelines for Germany and Poland. She noted that that day Putin was celebrating his birthday. #Polska #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)

Sławek Jastrzębowski wrote that in 2024 Donald Tusk listed TVN as a strategic company to prevent any potential takeover of the station by Russia. He added that in 2026 an American company bought TVN from another American company, and currently Tusk had ordered an investigation to see if the Americans are not Russians. #TVN #Polska #Tusk (translated)

The author of the post accused Daniel Obajtek of confusing the company's financial result with the loss resulting from a specific decision. He emphasized that the accusation concerning ORLEN was not related to the accounting loss of 4.1 billion PLN in the third quarter of 2023, but rather to the damage that, in his opinion, could have been caused by a specific pricing policy. The author pointed out that the company could have made a billion-dollar profit while also suffering a loss if, without that decision, its result would have been higher. He added that an increase in sales volume did not rule out losses on margin from lowered prices. He assessed that a person who publicly struggles to distinguish these concepts should not have been in charge of the largest Polish corporation. Obajtek's subsequent posts also prompted him to ponder how the former CEO of ORLEN ended up in that position. #ORLEN #finanse #polityka (translated)

The Institute of Truth informed that the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has filed an indictment in court against eight individuals regarding irregularities at the National Centre for Research and Development. According to the description, they were accused of, among other things, participating in a criminal organization, fraud to the detriment of NCBiR, issuing false VAT invoices, and money laundering. Investigators established that between 2021 and 2023, companies were created without any actual research and development activities to obtain public funds. The author described SMS correspondence from 2017 between Adam Bielan, his wife Klaudia, and Piotr M., the president of Chime Networks and one of the main accused. The company sought around 123 million PLN for the "Cable" project concerning underwater fiber optic infrastructure. According to the accounts from journalists of the podcast "In Connection with the Investigation," Dominika Długosz and Mariusz Gierszewski, Bielan was supposed to assist in organizing a meeting between Piotr M. and a Qatari delegation, and his wife received a presentation from the company and declared she would pass it on to her husband. Bielan was not charged. The Institute of Truth emphasized that Bielan had denied any close relationship with Piotr M. and involvement in the "Cable" project. He claimed to have met him through Jacek Żalek, and the meeting with the Qataris was of a courtesy nature; later, he was supposed to warn against the project. Żalek, on the other hand, maintained that Bielan and Piotr M. had known each other for years. The author recalled that Żalek was accused, among other things, of exceeding authority and accepting bribes, while the European Prosecutor's Office accused Piotr M. of attempting to defraud funding. The contract for 123 million PLN was ultimately not signed. The author stressed that the correspondence from 2017 does not prove Bielan's involvement in the later grant application, but indicates his contacts with the entrepreneur and assistance in organizing a high-level meeting. He added that Bielan was not included in the indictment. #InstytutPrawdy #NCBiR #oszustwa #przestępczość (translated)

The author expressed solidarity with Daniel Obajtek and the detained managers of Orlen. He described the detentions as absurd and called them a political spectacle. He wrote that Obajtek has been leading the largest Polish company for years and is currently one of the main targets of the political dispute surrounding Orlen. He assured that he would not be intimidated. https://t.co/WukwFfxYL6 #Orlen #Polska #Polityka #PL (translated)

The author asked Obajtek whether he had read the prosecutor's statement carefully and suggested that his answer concerned a different matter. He wrote that the proceedings do not relate to the fact that Poles were filling up at low prices, but to specific suspicions of crimes, acting to the detriment of the company, irregularities in management, and decisions made by individuals associated with Orlen. He added that the low price of fuel does not exclude criminal liability nor does it prove proper management of the company. He called on Obajtek to address the accusations and ongoing proceedings. #Orlen #prokuratura #odpowiedzialność (translated)

Devil Stockton wrote that the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has submitted an indictment against eight people in connection with the fraudulent procurement of funds from the National Center for Research and Development. According to the author, the defendants were accused of participating in a criminal organization, defrauding the State Treasury, issuing fictitious invoices, and money laundering. The entry described the findings of the investigation, according to which between 2021 and 2023, companies were created to obtain public subsidies for projects without actual research and development activities. The author referred to materials that journalists Dominika Długosz and Mariusz Gierszewski from the podcast "In connection with the investigation" had obtained. As he wrote, these contained text messages between Adam Bielan, his wife Klaudia Bielan, and Piotr M., one of the main defendants. The correspondence reportedly concerned the "Cable" project, for which Piotr M.'s company was to receive a subsidy of 123 million PLN. According to the entry, Bielan helped organize a meeting between Piotr M. and a Qatari delegation, and Klaudia Bielan received the company presentation and declared that she would pass it on to her husband. Stockton noted that Bielan denied involvement in the project and described the meeting with the Qataris as courtesy. The author also quoted Jacek Żałek's position, who reportedly claimed that Bielan and Piotr M. had known each other for years. He emphasized that Bielan had not been accused so far, before accusing him of close ties with individuals suspected of defrauding public funds. The entry concluded with an insult directed at Bielan and a vulgar allusion to corporal punishment for theft and lying. #InstytutPrawdy #korupcja #afera #polityka (translated)

It was stated in the entry that Metro AG lost control of its assets in Russia after the decision of the authorities in Moscow. The author wrote that the temporary management of part of the business was taken over by a Russian company linked to the local management of the network, and the decision was part of a broader series of takeovers of assets of foreign companies. #MetroAG #Rosja #Biznes #RU (translated)

The Institute of Truth described Adam Hofman as a politician who was removed from PiS after the Madrid affair and ended his political career, but maintained contacts and knowledge of power mechanisms. According to the entry, Hofman later said that he "practiced under master Kaczyński." After leaving politics, Hofman co-founded the R4S agency. The Institute of Truth, citing CBA documents, reported that in just over a year, over 4.3 million PLN flowed into its account, including nearly 1.2 million PLN from state-owned companies and related entities. The matter was taken up by the CBA as part of Operation "Argon," and later publications emerged about the so-called Wrocław arrangement. The author noted that no charges were brought against Hofman. The entry stated that in 2020, the Hungarian company R4S entered into a contract with MOL worth 10,000 euros per month. The agency's team included former Lotos president Robert Pietryszyn, and its tasks were to involve analyzing Polish politics, identifying important individuals, and assisting in organizing meetings with government representatives. At the same time, the process of merging Orlen with Lotos was ongoing, and MOL ultimately bought 417 Lotos stations. According to the Institute of Truth, Hofman acknowledged that foreign companies benefited from his knowledge of political realities. The author also wrote that in 2020, BitBay, now Zondacrypto, became a client of R4S. According to findings by Wirtualna Polska, the agency was to conduct image activities prior to the "Superwizjer" report. In June, the prosecutor's office closed the proceedings regarding BitBay for the second time, but the National Prosecutor's Office deemed this decision premature and ordered the case to be reopened. The proceedings were closed again in 2022. The Institute of Truth emphasized that there is no evidence of R4S's influence on the decisions of the prosecutor's office. According to sources from Wirtualna Polska, on April 8, 2025, Hofman and Pietryszyn met in Monaco with Przemysław Kral, the head of Zondacrypto, and the conversation was supposed to concern assistance in connection with planned publications by "Superwizjer." Hofman denied making such an offer. The Institute of Truth compared this meeting with R4S's previous work for BitBay and wrote that the same people and contacts appeared in both cases. According to the author, it was these contacts that were the most valuable capital Hofman derived from PiS. #InstytutPrawdy #Polityka #Korporacje #KapitałPolityczny (translated)
