The central piece of evidence in the entire case. An email from NN — Head of NCN's Grants Control Department — sent on 1 June 2020 from an official NCN work account. The document conveys to Dr. Kilarski the ultimatum issued by NCN Director Zbigniew Błocki: withdraw the NAWA "Polish Returns" application — you won't get it anyway — in order to "placate Prof. Drąg".
Evidentiary value: confirms the ultimatum in writing, from an official NCN account. The body managing NCN's grant competitions is interfering with an independent NAWA competition — outside the lawful remit of both agencies.
A complete chronological reconstruction of email correspondence between Dr. Kilarski, Błocki, Prof. Drąg and NN across 2020–2021.
The document shows the sequence of events and the reactions of each participant to the ultimatum and the subsequent attempts to bury the case. Useful for tracking who knew what and when.
A complete analysis of the 7 audio recordings (2020–2021): transcripts, context, and connections between the threads of alleged blackmail, alleged nepotism and allegedly falsified reviews.
The document consolidates all the recordings into a single evidence set, with references to specific time fragments. It is a guide through the audio material for investigators and journalists.
Dr. Kilarski's appeal against the first-instance verdict in case II K 321/23/P — a civil case brought by NCN/Błocki against the whistleblower.
The appeal identifies breaches of procedural law and the court's failure to consider audio and email evidence confirming the alleged blackmail.
Supplementary appeal against the Kraków Regional Court verdict of 15 November 2024 (panel including the presiding judge).
The supplementary submission identifies key evidence overlooked by the first instance and errors in the assessment of the evidentiary record.
Procedural motions filed in the appellate proceedings — formal requests for the admission and examination of evidence.
A document crucial for assessing whether the appellate courts allowed a genuine examination of the evidence or limited its scope.
An analysis of personnel and business links: Babik, Liana, Zwonek, Błocki — a map of alleged nepotism at NCN and in the Jagiellonian University milieu.
The document shows how positions at NCN, UJ and in external companies formed a web of mutual dependency that influenced grant decisions.
Attachment to Dr. Kilarski's criminal complaint — a set of documents and recordings submitted with the notice of suspected offence.
The contents of the attachment document that the prosecutor received evidence sufficient to open a substantive investigation.
Decision of the Kraków prosecutor's office (file no. 4135-1.Ds.96.2022) — the prosecutor (earlier case) refuses to open an investigation into the ultimatum and NCN management's conduct.
This decision — together with the prosecutor later ruling (2026) — became the first formal evidence of law-enforcement inaction in the Kilarski case.
Verdict in the case NN vs. Dr. Kilarski — delivered by a panel including the presiding judge.
The verdict concerns Kilarski's publication describing the alleged blackmail; the court's reasoning omitted the NN audio recordings from 2020–2021.
A psychiatric-psychological opinion concerning Dr. Kilarski — prepared in the course of court proceedings.
The document is raised by the opposing side to undermine the whistleblower's credibility; it illustrates one of the standard retaliation mechanisms against whistleblowers.
CV and list of scientific publications of Dr. Witold Kilarski — evidence of his research record in lymphatic system biology, biomedical engineering and Type 1 diabetes therapy.
Reference material for media and institutions assessing the substantive credibility of the whistleblower.
