WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish news magazine said on Sunday it had obtained a secret recording of a former minister saying the ruling party had settled the debts of a rival candidate in the 2005 presidential election in exchange for his withdrawal from the race.

The report in Wprost magazine was the latest to emerge from a series of mysterious tapes that have tarnished the government's reputation and confronted Prime Minister Donald Tusk with his biggest challenge since taking power in 2007.
