"Nasz Dziennik" reported on Saturday that someone in Russia allegedly performed three phone calls from a mobile phone belonging to President Lech Kaczynski after the crash, despite evidence showing that the phone was damaged to the point it could have not been used. According to the documentation of the Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW) someone listened to the voice mail. The telephone was turned on the day of the crash on 10th April 2010 at 10:46 a.m. and a day later at 12:40 p.m. and 4:20 p.m (UTC/GMT +4).
Keeping in mind that the actual time of the crash is still unknown! The official time was said to be at 10:56, subsequently and finally being agreed at 10:41.
The military prosecutor's office concluded that no crime was committed and that this only amounted to 'phoning at somebody else's expense' (here at the expense of the Chancellery of the President) and could not be classified as stealing information and referred the issue to the civil investigators.
In the course of the examinations done by the experts of the Internal Security Agency a partly burnt NOKIA 6310 mobile phone in which there was an Orange SIM card registered as the property of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland (its number was 505-114-114) was revealed. According to the information obtained by the Internal Security Agency, the user of the mentioned telephone was the late President of the Republic of Poland, Lech Kaczynski.
"The Gazeta Polska" daily revealed that cameras belonging to the passengers also had signs showing they had been tampered with. This is made clear from expert opinions carried out in connection with the crash prepared at the request of the Internal Security Agency. Examined were cameras and camcorders secured at the site of the crash. The contents of the memory cards of cameras were modified both soon after the tragedy (on 11th and 12th April) and a week later (between 16th and 19th April). The expert whom the Internal Security Agency requested to analyse the appliances claimed that this tampering could have effaced possible traces of earlier modifications in an irreparable way. According to the information obtained by the Niezalezna.pl portal, the memory cards contained traces of deleted photos probably taken on board of the TU-154 plane.
It seems that something similar could have happened to the Blackberry phones belonging to the generals onboard. Through these phones it was possible to access military documentation.
"Data from telephones belonging to the most important people in the state, such as text messages, voice recordings or other could have contained important infomration for foreign intelligence services and this fact should not be ignored," says Bogdan Swieczkowski, a former head of the Internal Security Agency.
Both the army commanders and the employees of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence who were on board used Blackberry mobile phones, were connected to the internet and professional mailboxes.
