dbo:abstract
  • Bogdan Gasiński (born November 2, 1971 in Kożuchów) is a Polish man who until 2001 worked as one of regional directors for a company named Inter Commerce owned by multimillionaire (missing since 2005). He gained notoriety in November/December 2001 as the supposed source of allegations about bribing of top Polish politicians by Skowroński, and as the source of allegations of visits by Afghan militants to the Polish village of Klewki related to alleged anthrax experimentation conducted there. Other allegations by Gasiński are related to 9/11 perpetrators. While Aleksander Makowski (a former top spy, an Inter Commerce employee (1990-1995 and 1998-2000), and Skowroński's partner in Afghanistan-related business ventures) confirmed one part of Gasiński's widely-ridiculed claims in his 2014 book—he said that Afghan militants indeed visited Klewki, and that they were only Ahmad Shah Massoud's mujahideen—he dismissed other claims made by Gasiński, and a 2005 book published on the subject, as crazy. Makowski himself described, in the aforementioned 2014 book, how Makowski and Skowroński traveled multiple times to the Panjshir Valley to meet with Massoud, how they traded in emeralds with the mujahideen, how they printed money in Poland which was to be used as an official currency by Massoud's Northern Alliance, how an attempt to supply weapons to the Afghans supposedly failed because Americans objected to it; and how Makowski's knowledge of Afghanistan became useful when he was later hired to provide intelligence to Polish soldiers in the war in Afghanistan. Gasiński however paints a different picture, alleging that they were providing weapons to the Afghans in exchange for drugs, mentioning the Northern Alliance's opium farming in this context. Gasiński was sentenced to 38 years' imprisonment, all for non-violent crimes and animal cruelty. (en)
