What
did Grzegorz Żemek advise the Meat Processing Plant
After
FOZZ [Foreign Debt Service Fund]
there was Nisko Over
seven hundred employees of the Meat Processing Plant in Nisko haven’t
received their salary since May. “Rzeczpospolita” [“The Republic”]
found out that at the same time that company’s management transferred
money to the bank account of Grzegorz Żemek, the principal defendant in
the FOZZ affair, and the companies connected to him. A company seated in
Warsaw, Kera Trading, controlled by Żemek, is the owner of the Nisko
Plant, and he himself holds the position of a supervisory board chairman
of the Nisko Plant. Andrzej
Szewczyk, chairman of the “Solidarity” local at the Nisko Plant,
says, that he is terrified that the law did nothing in regard to what is
happening at the company. The unionists intend to ask the Attorney
General Lech Kaczyński to undertake proper actions and to bring those
guilty of the plant’s bankruptcy to justice. The crew also blames the
Ministry of Treasure, which is the company’s minority shareholder,
that at the right time it hasn’t interfered in stealing the plant away.
– We will do anything and we will not allow the Nisko case to endure
like FOZZ – say the employees. They want the court to discontinue the
amicable proceedings with the creditors and announce bankruptcy. Only
then could they receive money from the Guaranteed Benefits Fund. Around
seven hundred employees of the Meat Processing Plant in Nisko haven’t
received any money since May. In September the crew has been on strike
for a month. The strike stopped after the management had obliged itself
to pay the arrears. The employees haven’t received the money until
today. At the same time assets - as “Rzeczpospolita” has established,
were being transferred to Grzegorz Żemek’s companies. Pork
halved carcass from Nisko
At
the end of June of this year the Meat Processing Plant in Nisko paid
7320 PLN to the benefit of Beepol Aruba in Warsaw. Grzegorz Żemek
receipted the money. The indictment concerning the FOZZ case defines
Grzegorz Żemek as an advisor of a company named Beepol. The company
named Beepol Aruba on the other hand, has been founded by Beepol and
Reinold Holding AVV from Netherlands Antilles. Later on, the place of
Rainold Holding in the ownership structure, has been taken by the
company Financial Management Technology (FMT), founded in August 1993 by
Grzegorz Żemek and his wife Kamila Marcinkowska. From
what “Rzeczpospolita” has established it follows that FMT, which has
the same address as Beepol Aruba, has been delivered pork halved carcass
as well as other goods from Nisko. Within the period from April until
December of last year, that company received carcass worth 1,8 million
PLN. Until today, money for it has not reached Nisko. Consulting
and protection
On
September 21st of this year, the company Transport, the only
shareholder of which is the Nisko Plant, transferred 6100 PLN to the
benefit of the company Financial Consulting - Grzegorz Żemek s.c. in
Warsaw. The amount was due to legal assistance and financial consulting.
In autumn of last year, Grzegorz Żemek told “Rzeczpospolita”:
“Financial Consulting is a company, the activity of which consists of
organising economic ventures. It is sometimes helping in arranging
credits, for which I collect commission”. On
the last day of August of this year, the management of the Nisko Plant
ordered to pay over 16 thousand PLN to the benefit of the Security
Agency Juwentus in Warsaw, for protection of a real estate in Korzeniówka
near Warsaw, owned by Grzegorz Żemek. The order of transfer was signed
by Leszek Cichy, the President of the Nisko Plant, on the first day of
his being at that post. The
outstanding payments somewhere else
At
the same time the halved carcass from the Nisko Plant were also
delivered to companies connected to Kera Trading. They reached FMT and
among others the company Olmar in Lewiczyn, which hasn’t paid for the
goods either. The President of that company is Maciej Cyprys, deputy
chairman of the supervisory board of the Nisko Plant. In Lewiczyn, under
the same address as Olmar, there is another company - Mega Trading, also
connected to Kera Trading. On
the other hand, to the bank account of Mega Trading, instead of the
Nisko plant, there mysteriously came payments for goods collected by
Animex and Schreder from Nisko. Kera
Trading has become a holder of the controlling parcel of shares in the
Nisko Plant in summer of last year. It purchased shares from the IV NFI
Progres, controlled by the state treasure and the other State Investment
Funds. Grzegorz Żemek has then promised bright future to the crew. Now,
nobody can even calculate the indebtedness of the plant. It is being
estimated to exceed 30 million PLN. In spite of such a dramatic
situation, shareholders during the last extraordinary meeting which took
place at the Europejski Hotel in Warsaw, indulged in an extraordinary
feast. Józef Matusz |
