TARCZYŃSKI MEP NIGHT APOLOGIES TO ME AND OPEN DIALOGUE FOUNDATION FOR DEFAMATION
On 3rd of Jan 2025 a Member of the European Parliament and candidate for the Law and Justice's would-be presidential election Dominik Tarczynski has published an apology for slandering me, Lyudmyla Kozlovska, and Open Dialogue Foundation.
His statement is the result of a final lost in court.
However, Tarczynski wrote it overnight in the hope that no one would see it while our profiles in X have been blocked by him.
Just to recall, Tarczynski in 2019 slandered us for money laundering from #Russia. He attacked us with same false slanders in while he was a Member of Parliamentary Assembley of the Council of Europe, and then in the European Parliament.
This slander was also affecting our rights for banking services in the #EU, financially excluding me, my family members and different entities connected with me.
The verdict in this case came down in the summer of 2022, and on 20 Dec. 2024 the Court of Appeal in #Warsaw rejected his whole application, requiring a compensation and the publication of such content:
'I, Dominik Tarczynski, apologise to Lyudmyla Kozlovska for infringement of her dignity and good name and to the Open Dialogue Foundation in Warsaw (Registration no. (KRS): 0000353754) for damage to its reputation and good name by disseminating damaging and untrue information about their participation in laundering of money coming from Russia during my appearance in the Deutsche Welle programme ‘Conflict Zone’'.
Certainly 10 000 PLN as compensation isn't enough to restore the reputation and damage caused by Tarczynski for the last 5 years.
We should put in place more effective accountability measures to stop these kinds of attacks, especially from state representatives in the Parliamentary Assembley of the Council of Europe and European Parliament.
