A prosecutor will start an investigation into the controversial statements made last year by a priest, who is the founder of a Catholic radio station known for its anti-Semitic broadcasts.

The decision to start an investigation, decided by a court in Torun, is a response to a complaint by a Polish Jewish organization against the anti-Semitic statements that were made by the priest.
He was quoted at a meeting with university students as accusing Jews of greed in a government compensation deal on confiscated property; and has also denounced Poland’s President Lech Kaczynski as a “fraudster who is in the pockets of the Jewish lobby.”

The priest has denied making the inflammatory remarks but a popular magazine claims to have a recording of his statements.
