Reports link Danish telecom TDC with a Polish corruption case
The name of Denmark's largest telecom operator, TDC, has been implicated in a corruption scandal in Poland, involving Polish President Aleksander Kwasnieski.
Polish newspaper Wprost reported that TDC's Polish subsidiary, mobile telephone company Polkomtel, had been extremely generous towards Kwasnieski's wife for years after receiving a license to operate a mobile telephone service in Poland in 1996.
The newspaper said Polkomtel had donated DKK 1.3 million to the First Lady's charity organization and been its main patron for years. The newspaper also pointed out that TDC's former CEO, Hans Würtzen, had visited Poland and the president couple in 1997.
TDC denied the allegations.
'Bribery simply isn't a part of our values. It's a business practice we don't use. Period,' said Torben V. Holm, vice director of TDC's business development department to Danish daily business newspaper Børsen. Link
