This may be dangerous for his clients – Paweł S. has been speaking for the second day, for many hours, and it's not over yet. It is not known whether he denies the accusations in the prosecutor's office or whether he is lying to someone. It is known that this amounts to many millions of zlotys from the Government Agency of Strategic Reserves during the PiS era. First, the former head of this agency, Michał K., was detained in London, and then Paweł S. was deported from the Dominican Republic.
The second day at the prosecutor's office and many hours of interrogation are a clear signal that Paweł S. wants to talk. – Mr. Paweł S. refers to the charges that were brought against him, and that is as much as I can tell you – says Adam Klepczyński, Paweł S.'s defense attorney.
On October 31, Paweł S. spent nearly eight hours in the prosecutor's office, on November 1, another six hours, and that was not the end. – These activities will continue over the next few days – informs Tomasz Tadla from the National Prosecutor's Office in Katowice.
For now, the creator of the Red is Bad brand has been formally charged with participation in an organized criminal group and money laundering. The question is what he tells prosecutors.

“If it starts to fall apart, he will talk about the involvement of the most important PiS politicians”
– These testimonies may cause the entire United Right to tremble – says Marcin Kulasek, deputy minister of state assets from the New Left.
– If PiS is to be afraid of something, it must be afraid of God, first of all – comments Piotr Kaleta, an MP from Law and Justice. But is it really only God? The authorities recall the chronology of events from recent weeks.
When the scandal broke out, both Paweł S. and the former head of the Government Agency of Strategic Reserves went abroad. However, S. sent signals that he wanted to return, applied for a safe conduct, and when he was deported from the Dominican Republic – he gave up the help of his two previous defenders. Now he is defended by a lawyer representing at least some of the whistleblowers who openly talk about the scams of the former government.
– If it starts falling apart, it will say about the involvement of the most important PiS politicians in this whole procedure – says Dariusz Joński, MEP of the Civic Coalition.

– Over the last eight years, PiS has created a state within a state, a parallel state where the Penal Code did not apply, where public procurement law did not apply – comments Aleksandra Leo, MP from Poland 2050.
It's about a scandal involving huge orders from the state – the clothing manufacturer was supposed to earn millions from them, even though he had no knowledge of trading in medical devices.

Collective amnesia in PiS
“Prime Minister Morawiecki is starting to understand what “Red is Bad” means. And for whom.” – Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on the Internet.
– If Mr. S. cooperates, we will first of all find out who he smoked and how much, because I do not believe that Mr. S. acted alone – says Borys Budka, MEP of the Civic Coalition.
– If Mr. Paweł S. confirms that he donated Mateusz Morawiecki's people for the election campaign, then Mateusz Morawiecki, Law and Justice, and Mateusz Morawiecki's entourage will be drowned once and for all – says Left MP Tomasz Trela.
The former prime minister defended Michał K more than once. He is the former head of the Government Agency of Strategic Reserves and a long-time collaborator of Mateusz Morawiecki. After the scandal broke out, he fled to London, and Morawiecki continued to vouch for him in an English court.
However, now collective amnesia has appeared in PiS. – I don't know the man – says Zbigniew Bogucki, MP from Law and Justice, about Michał K. – I don't know, I don't know – replies Law and Justice MP Jacek Sasin.
No one knows Messrs. K. and S. anymore, although Michał K. headed one of the most important agencies in the country, and the president and the prime minister frequented Paweł S.'s stores. – These authorities pursue arrest warrants and arrest people who have nothing on their conscience – comments Jacek Sasin.
– All PiS thieves who tried to escape to the other side of the globe have a clear signal that the state services, the independent state prosecutor's office, will pull PiS thieves out of every hole, bring them to Poland and these people will be punished for the theft – he says Krzysztof Brejza, MEP of the Civic Coalition.
On Monday, November 4, there will be another day of interrogations for Paweł S.
