Geometry Difficulty 8.0 Shortlist Prove it Hungary

In convex polyhedron ABCDEABCDE line segment DEDE intersects the plane of triangle ABCABC inside the triangle. Rotate the point DD outward into the plane of triangle ABCABC around the lines ABAB, BCBC, CACA; let the resulting points be D1D_1, D2D_2, and D3D_3. Similarly, rotate the point EE outward into the plane of triangle ABCABC around the lines ABAB, BCBC, CACA; let the resulting points be E1E_1, E2E_2, and E3E_3. Show that if the polyhedron has an inscribed sphere, then the circumcircles of D1D2D3D_1D_2D_3 and E1E2E3E_1E_2E_3 are concentric.
