Polish senator's career 'destroyed' by prostitutes and cocaine video

Krzysztof Piesiewicz, a Polish politician, admitted his career was all but over after a newspaper posted a video on its website showing him cavorting with prostitutes while wearing a flowery dress and appearing to snort cocaine.

Senator Krzysztof Piesiewicz, a senior member of the governing Civic Platform party, claimed the video was part of a blackmail plot organised by the two prostitutes who made the film.

First shown on the website of the Polish newspaper Super Express, the footage shows the 64-year-old politician wearing a white dress decorated with flowers while slumped on a sofa as a prostitute applies make up to his face.

It also shows Mr Piesiewicz pressing to his nose to a table and appearing to snort a white powder, although the senator has denied accusations that it was cocaine, claiming instead it was a harmless powder and part of the blackmail plot.

While he admits arranging to meet a prostitute, the senator, who has been separated from his wife for 10 years, has claimed the women intoxicated him with something in order to make the film.
