Editorial team of the "Superwizjer" programme is categorically denying the allegations that a member of TVN's crew making a report "Polscy neonaziści" (Polish neo-nazis) paid money to Mateusz S. alias Sitas or to anyone who took part in the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday that was held in a forest near Wodzisław Śląski. Spreading such false information infringes on personal rights of the report's authors and the TVN station.
On 8th of November 2018, "wPolityce" internet portal published an information about "testimony" of Mateusz S. alias Sitas, the organiser of Adolf Hitler's birthday anniversary that was held in a forest near Wodzisław Śląski, southern Poland. He allegedly "testified" that in March 2017 in Katowice, two unknown men gave him a plastic bag with 20,000 zlotys inside. In return, according to author of the article, the men wanted him to organise Adolf Hitler's birthday and to invite a TVN reporter. On that same day, the Prosecutor general Zbigniew Ziobro annouced that "evidence activities in that regard have been carried out and confirmed the information regarding money being given to one of the organisers, a sum that this man was intensively spending throughout a certain period".
In regard to these revelations, we categorically deny categorically denying the allegations that a member of TVN's crew making a report "Polscy neonaziści" (Polish neo-nazis) paid money to Mateusz S. alias Sitas or to anyone who took part in the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birthday that was held in a forest near Wodzisław Śląski. Spreading such false information infringes on personal rights of the report's authors and the TVN station. We are considering taking legal action.
We remind that in accordance with the information issued by the District Prosecutor's Office in Gliwice, Mateusz S. alias Sitas was detained by the Internal Security Agency on the 23rd of January 2018 and then was charged. Therefore, he couldn't have given any "testimony" in this case, that "wPolityce" portal is pointing to. He could have given, however, a statement in which he could freely formulate his line of defense, to put it bluntly, he could have lied to defend himself. It also needs to be reminded that in the course of investigation, one of the participants of Adolf Hitler's birthday in 2017 has pleaded guilty, expressed remorse and accepted his punishment. In October, the court found him guilty of propagating fascism and of illegal possession of a firearm.
When performing a search in the homes of the forest nazi-party participants, the Internal Security Agency officers found, among others, nazi uniforms, flags, badges and publications.
