"Gazeta Polska" has formerly reported that some $80 million was illegally diverted from the account of the Central Tourism and Recreation Fund, which was subordinated to the committee managed by Kwasniewski. Kwasniewski_s chief lawyer Ryszard Kalisz said all Kwasniewski_s activities in the Physical Culture Committee have already been checked by the Supreme Audit Chamber, which found no irregularities.
