On 14 November 2012 the first hearing in the case against the publisher of “Fakt” newspaper - Ringier Axel Springer Polska, brought by the attorney of Michał Tusk – Roman Giertych was held before the Regional Court in Warsaw.

Roman Giertych sued “Fakt” for publishing the article titled: “Is Tusk threatened with 10 years of prison?!”. According to Tusk, information provided by the journalist is false and injures his reputation. The attorneys of “Fakt” - Piotr Kochański, Rafał Zięba and Tobiasz Szychowski are of different opinion and point out to the questioning character of the title.

Article in “Fakt” relates to the potential contribution of Michał Tusk in Amber Gold affair by a conflict of interest, noticed by journalists in his simultaneous work in marketing for OLT Express airlines and the airport in Gdańsk. OLT Express is a low cost airline belonging to Amber Gold.
