The hero of the drama
Mr. Adam
Kierczyński is a key
character of this drama. He was born in Cracov, on
Once you became a victim of postcommunism,
collect good records!
Mr. Adam was a very meticulous man, he collected documents relevant to
his
investment and all of the records of proceedings in the case. He has
got an
impressive archive full of all the documents, copies of the files. The
case was
deliberately delayed and transferred from one public prosecutor's
office to another
until it became a subject of prescription.
Mr. Adam prosecuted councellor
who proclaimed his death, the unfair comapny and the court executive
officer, who
did not check if his death certificate really exists. He collected all
the
letters sent and received, all the records of meetings and hearings,
all absurd
decisions, discontinuances of legal proceedings - literally everything!
The
entire archive - over 5,000 pages of documents, has been deposited with
a
trusted American lawyer. Mr. Adam delegated his authority to attorney
to
continue the case. If something wrong occurred to him, his heirs could
obtain a
compensation. Mr. Adam says: "Once I became a victim of postcommunist violations of law and postcommunist
clique, I started collecting good records”. If you can
not defend yourself from criminals, at least provide
evidence documenting their crimes. That seems to be a good idea… Soon
you may
find out that precision and accuracy pay off.
The exact man
When Mr. Adam came first to the editor, his case instantly interested
Rafal Klimuszko.
Mr Adam with his long moustache resembled Jozef Pilsudski. His
grandfather
Bronislaw, was a taxi driver in Cracow. In 1945, shortly after the
Soviet
occupation of Cracow the Red Army confiscated the car. Mr. Adam’s
father –
Artur, was hired as a regular driver but soon he opened a small freight
transport
company. In 1984 Mr. Adam managed to get a visa to the U.S. At that
time he was
28 years old and he had different part-time jobs. He learned English
really
quick and got a driver’s license so he could work as a truck driver.
After 15
years of residing in the United States he beacame a wealthy man with
big savings
on the bank account. Mr. Adam became interested in the proposals of
Polish Prime
Minister, Jerzy Buzek, who convinced the Poles from abroad to invest in
Poland.
He wanted to ensure a stable life for himself and his family.
In 1999, looking through
the real estate deals proposed by the State Agricultural Agency, he
found a
plot of 13.2 hectares adjacent to the national road A-2 linking Paris,
Berlin,
Warsaw, Minsk and Moscow. In addition no one was interested in buying
this
piece of land. Mr. Adam immediately booked a ticket, flew to Poland and
13.2 ha
plot in the Lubrza commune became his property.
You
can not lose on such investment
Design Studio “Plan" from Zielona Gora made a really beautiful
architectural design. Mr. Adam started building his dream project – a
gas
station with a restaurant, shop, car wash, sanitary facilities for the
truck
drivers and a parking lot. Mr. Adam was a truck driver so he knew how
to
satisfy the needs of his future customers. He built his own shot of
water
(well), transformed electricity line. The project included the
construction of
an appropriate entry and the exit from the gas station and the entire
facility.
All that in accordance with law required building two lanes for the
route of
the international status.
The entire investment
was valued at around 2.5 million dollars but the Polish entrepreneur
was aware
thet he can not simply lose on such investment! The bank which Mr. Adam
chose
to work with has only one condition. The investor had to build the
entry and
exit in accordance with the project, which ensured that the investment
within
half a year will generate profits. Knowing similar investments in that
area
bankers easily assessed that the facility will have around 6 million
zlotys of
the annual profit. In addition, the land with no mortgage was already
notarial
exclusive property of the investor. Simply
a paradise for the bank! The bank told Mr. Adam that the credit is
granted and he
could pick up the money as soon as he presents a final decision from
voivode and
the license to use the entry and exit from the national route to his
object.
Here comes nomenclature
The investor from Chicago signed a contract with a local road
construction company
- Infra. It’s formal owner was Ms Maria Regina Bidej and the actual
owner was
her husband, Władysław Bidej, who was an influential constructor during
the communist
era.
The agreement was signed on November 7, 2001. The Infra Company was
obliged to complete
the work on
It turned out that
Infra actually built what was not in the project. The constructors did
not
widen the route enough. So to remain in accordance with the required
width of
the road they narrowed the area in the middle of the road between the
two lanes
going in opposite directions. They failed to comply with the terms of
the
investment. The authorization for the construction used by the unfair
company
was illegal and immediately set aside as void by the National Highway
Surveillance.
Władysław Bidej proved to be a man with good connections. General
Directorate
for National Roads and Highways has issued an opinion that the object
was made
scandalous, not in accordance with the approved project and poses a
threat to
road safety so the General Directorate absolutely do not agree on its
use. Mr.
Bidej got in touch with the Regional Police Command which has issued an
opinion
that everything was fine and there was no threat to road safety.
Earlier
opinion of the same Regional Police Command was completely different,
but
suddenly RPC has approved badly constructed facility and authorized the
use of
the facility. After that, suddenly General Directorate for National
Roads and
Highways changed its opinion, and the object “made scandalous and not
in
accordance with approved project” – had become made O.K. And
post-communistic
authorities gave their permission to use it… As the result, illegal
authorization
has become “legal”…
Mr. Adam Kierczyński persistently demanded to perform the work in
accordance
with the approved project. The man who lived in
