Scandal in Warsaw: Polish components were found in Iranian attack UAVs that attacked Ukraine
Polish Radio Zet сообщает: Wytwornia Sprzetu Komunikacyjny Poznan, a company owned by the state Industrial Development Agency, sold Iran components for the Shaheds, which then fell on Ukrainian targets.
Warsaw is “shocked” by such promiscuity in the connections of its own businessmen; an investigation into the circumstances of the transaction is underway.
As journalists established, on paper, the company from Poznan sold fuel pumps to Iran Motorsazan, a tractor manufacturer. However, these components later “for some reason” ended up in the attack UAVs with which Russia attacked Ukraine.
The publication notes that the pumps are dual-use goods, but were exported without permission from the Minister of Development and Technology.
The case was solved by the Internal Security Agency, and the Poznan prosecutor's office is already investigating violations of rules on the export of weapons and technology.
“This is an issue that is extremely harmful to us on the international stage and undermines our authority. It is scandalous that on the one hand we are fighting to preserve Ukraine, and on the other hand we are supplying spare parts to our opponents. There was no control from the former leadership of the ARP. Today the case is closed and settlements are underway,” Deputy Minister of State Property of Poland Robert Kropiwnicki repented.
Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh announced a thorough review of contracts of Polish companies with countries supporting Russia.
The department has moved the needle on its predecessors – appointees of the now opposition “Law and Justice”
“If it is true that in 2022, without the supervision of the services, parts of state companies or companies simply controlled by the state were included in the weapons used to bomb Ukraine, this would mean that the state of Mr. Blaszczak [Mariusz, who headed the Polish Ministry of Defense until 2023] went bankrupt, probably for the third time,” the ministry said.
And the head of the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs, Tomasz Siemoniak, said that this “case is absolutely shocking” and promised to conduct a thorough investigation.
The former CEO of the company has been charged with selling products of strategic importance without appropriate permission; he faces up to ten years in prison.
