Alganov

"- I couldn’t offer the refinery to the Russians even if I wanted to. It’s nonsense. The tender was cancelled three days before the meeting with Alganov. Therefore, there was nothing to talk to Alganov about concerning this issue. Secondly, what interest would I have in this? I’m investing huge amounts of money in Orlen so I can create Russian competition for myself? I’m not an idiot; for Russian money, I’d ruin my career in one fell swoop? If I had allowed myself to be bought by the Russians, by Lukoil, I would have been finished forever, all over the world. I’d be permanently labeled: Kulczyk is a Russian agent. It would have been a closed case. I still wonder who was meddling with this, because it wasn’t happening without a reason, someone had an interest in it. All I know is that my meeting with Alganov was allegedly eavesdropped on by an agent. Kulczyk was convinced it was one of the Poles accompanying him at the table."
