WARSAW (Sputnik) — In September, Poland's prosecutors announced that they planned to exhume the bodies of victims, who had not been exhumed before. On November 14, former Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his wife were exhumed.
Polish authorities were expected to exhume former Chief of the National Security Office Aleksander Szczyglo and ex-Chief of the Polish Olympic Committee Piotr Nurowski among others, the Polish TVN24 broadcaster reported Tuesday citing its own sources.
On April 10, 2010, a Polish jet airliner carrying Kaczynski, his wife and officials crashed amid heavy fog as it attempted to land at an airfield near the Russian city of Smolensk. All 96 people on board died in the crash. The Moscow-based Interstate Aviation Committee said that the flight crew’s decision not to reroute the plane to an alternative aerodrome led to the crash.
In early February, the Polish Defense Ministry said that Warsaw would restart its investigation into the crash from the very beginning.
