Orlen Group's supervisory board dismisses CEO effective February 5
Daniel Obajtek, the CEO of state-owned fuels company PKN Orlen, has been dismissed from the management board by the group’s supervisor board, the company said in a market filing.
The dismissal, which comes into effect on February 5, follows intense speculation over the future of Obajtek, who has been the head of Orlen for six years.
For many in the new government Obajtek was seen as being too close to the old Law and Justice government, which lost power in October’s general election.
He was also dogged by controversies surrounding his assets and the sale by Orlen of a stake in the Lotos refinery to a Saudi Arabian company. (PAP)
