Deputy Head of Parczew District to be removed
Verification of asset declarations by the CBA Deputy Head of Parczew infringed the Anti-Corruption Act. Town councillors were provided with a request to remove him from office, and the prosecutor’s office was submitted with a notification of a suspicion of having perpetrated a criminal offence.
In March this year, the CBA officers of the Regional Office in Lublin verified the compliance with the provisions of the Act on Restrictions on Performing Business Activities by the Deputy Head of the Parczew District. The CBA also controlled the accuracy and veracity of the asset declarations submitted by him. The control covered the years 2014-2015.
The CBA officers from Lublin established that the present Deputy Head of the Parczew District infringed the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Act by simultaneously performing the function of a member of the Management Board of the Garage Construction Cooperative. The fact was not revealed in the asset declarations submitted by him in the years 2014-2015.
Pursuant to art. 4 item 3 of the Anti-Corruption Act, the Management Board members of the District (e.g. the district head) are not allowed to sit as members of the management board, supervisory board or audit committee of the cooperative. The Act also sets out that should a person holding such a position infringe this provision, the council will remove them from office within one month from the date of obtaining the information on the cause of such removal by the council chairperson.
Due to the control results, by the end of March, the CBA submitted post-control recommendations to the District Council in Parczew, in which the removal of the District Head was recommended.
The CBA also filed a notification of a suspicion of having perpetrated a criminal offence with the District Prosecutor in Lublin.
