Text of report by Polish news agency PAP

Warsaw, 9 March: A foreign intelligence officer, who had since 2003 maintained contacts of an operational character with Marcin T., has at the demand of the Polish side departed from the territory of the Republic of Poland, the Internal Security Agency [ABW] revealed on Wednesday [9 March] evening.

It was not stated when this took place and which foreign intelligence service is involved. The media are speculating that this concerns Russian intelligence, although nobody has officially confirmed this.

The fact of expulsion of an officer means that he has to have been a diplomat who was protected by immunity. Otherwise, he would have been arrested together with Marcin T., a former assistant to the head of the investigative commission into the PKN Orlen case, Jozef Gruszka (of the Polish Peasant Party - PSL). In such a case, the only possible sanction is to deem the given diplomat, and at the same time intelligence officer, persona non grata (a person undesirable in this country - PAP editorial note).
