Probe to determine if communists fabricated Walesa spy files
Poland on Thursday launched a probe into whether communist secret policemen forged 1970s files identifying Lech Walesa as a paid regime spy codenamed "Bolek", an allegation the the Solidarity hero has flatly denied.
Fresh allegations of collaboration surfaced last week when state prosecutors seized previously unknown regime documents from 1970-76 from the widow of a communist-era general.
Walesa "insist that SB (secret police) officers faked payment receipts for agent 'Bolek'. This must be verified in a probe, because it could qualify as an offence under the criminal code," Lukasz Kaminski, head of the IPN communist crimes prosecutors, said Thursday.
