Poland leak scandal: Three ministers and Speaker resign
Three Polish ministers and the country's parliamentary Speaker have resigned amid a row over leaked tapes, - BBC reported.
Speaker Radek Sikorski and the health, treasury and sports ministers said they had quit for the good of the ruling centre-right Civic Platform party.
The resignations come four months before general elections, as the popularity of PM Ewa Kopacz is waning.
The officials were secretly recorded in Warsaw restaurants discussing private deals and promotions in 2013-14.
The leaks were published by the Wprost magazine, angering many Poles.
Although bugging conversations to gain information is illegal in Poland, the series of leaks has hit the Polish government hard.
It also led to charges against several people, including waiters - with some media labelling the affair "Waitergate".
