POLSKIE RADIO/
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that three more ministers resigned over the ‘Blackjack’ lobbying scandal. Interior Minister and vice PM Grzegorz Schetyna – a politician sometimes described as his “right hand man”- resigned along with Justice Minister Andrzej Czuma and Deputy Economy Minister Adam Szejnfeld.
So far the "Blackjack" scandal totals five resignations including Zbigniew Chlebowski and Sports Minister Miroslaw Drzewiecki.
Tusk is also seeking to fire Anti-Corruption Bureau chief Mariusz Kaminski.
The sacking and resignations follow allegations that members of Tusk's party, the Civic Platform, lobbied on behalf of the gambling industry to stop proposed tax hikes on betting.
