WHO GAVE THE ORDER?
Donald Tusk is of German and Polish decent, he served as the Prime Minister of Poland from 2007 to 2014.
Donald Tusk’s authority, as the President of the European Council, was secured for five years, from 2014 to 2019.
On the 20th November, 2019, Donald Tusk, was elected as the president of the Europeans People’s Party (EPP), which is Europe’s largest transnational political party. The EPP gathers over 70 national parties from 40 countries.
In 2007, he collaborated with Nicolas Sarkozy (alleged Libyan financing in the 2007 French presidential election purportedly took the form of Libya's covert and illicit bankrolling of the presidential campaign of Nicolas Sarkozy with up to €50 million in pay-outs), to convince Irleland to agree to the Lisbon Treaty, who (Ireland) initially voted ‘NO’ by way of referendum. After they agreed to the Lisbon Treaty, Tusk declared that Ireland would have the final say on the BREXIT deal – the key to the UK’s future lies, in some ways, in Ireland.
Furthermore, the most concerning information that has been brought to my attention is the Amber Gold scandal: https://www.dw.com/en/donald-tusks-elephant-in-the-room/a-46168594
An almost Trump-like whiff of collusion has stalked the head of the European Council. In Warsaw to answer questions about an old scandal, the ex-Polish PM dismissed allegations against him as politically motivated.
The Amber Gold scandal, which came to light in 2012, was one of the biggest business affairs in Poland since the fall of communism in 1989.
Amber Gold was active between 2009 and 2012 and was founded by Marcin P, who had been earlier sentenced on several occasions to prison for bank fraud, embezzlement and forging of documents, all sentences suspended.
Amber Gold invested in precious metals and offered clients an attractive interest rate for its deposits. The company, based in Gdansk, in northern Poland, drew in 50,000 investors and cheated 19,000 of them out of 850 million zlotys (€197 million, $230 million). It turned out the company had been used as a money laundry.
While prime minister it is alleged that Tusk ignored information given to him by the head of the Internal Security Agency and the president of the National Bank of Poland, who warned him that his son was involved in the Amber Gold Ponzi scheme.
It is also alleged that Tusk's government did nothing when in December 2009 the state-run Financial Oversight Commission, KNF, issued a warning that Amber Gold had no permit to carry out banking activities.
At the time Amber Gold owned almost all shares in OLT Express airlines, which employed Michal Tusk, the prime minister's son.
It turns out that Amber Gold regarded Michal's employment as a protective umbrella. Marcin P. said: "I employ the prime minister's son. As long as he works for us, I think we are untouchable."
But the scandal returns to the limelight as the party Tusk founded, Civic Platform (PO), is trying to build up steam ahead of key domestic and European elections in 2019 and 2020.
The scam has raised questions about the effectiveness of government during Tusk's term. For critics, it highlights Tusks' hypocrisy in criticizing PiS for failing to enforce democracy and the rule of law.
