Alleged collaboration with communist secret service

In November 2007, the IPN said that Dariusz Rosati was registered as a secret collaborator "candidate" and "protection" by the Ministry of Interior I Department and II Department. Later on he was registered as an operational contact. However, in July 2007 Dariusz Rosati has made a statement in which he denied that cooperation went beyond sporadic contacts. His vetting declaration was approved by the Ombudsman of the Public Interest and prosecutor of the IPN. Thus he was not a secret collaborator at any time during his life.
