A Polish businessman who sold chemicals over the internet to Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik was in neighbouring Sweden just two weeks before the 22 July massacre that killed 77.
Polish prosecutors are investigating the matter, together with the Internal Security Agency (ABW), the country's counter-intelligence bureau.
Lukasz W. (name withheld due to Polish privacy law), from the western city of Wroclaw, legally sold 50 kg of aluminium powder to Breivik, material that can be used to make bombs, via his internet business.
He has admitted to doing so, and ABW officers confiscated his computers when they descended on his home two days after the massacre.
However, the Pole's trips to Scandinavia have only recently emerged.
According to the Gazeta Wroclawska daily, Lukasz W.'s accounts of his trips to Sweden are contradictory, and one version features an intermediary of Breivik.
However, Lukasz W. denied to the paper that he had met Breivik in Sweden.
“That's not true. There was no meeting with Breivik. End of conversation,” he said.
Anders Breivik has admitted to killing eight people with a bomb that exploded beneath governmental buildings in Oslo.
He then gunned down 69 people, mostly teenagers, on the island of Utoya, where a youth camp of Norway's Labour Party was taking place.
Breivik, a right-wing extremist, declares that he is a “soldier” fighting against multiculturalism and Islamist terrorism. (nh/pg)
