Entrepreneur from Łódź Detained
Officers of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau have detained an entrepreneur suspected of concealing the sale of real estate in tax returns. The case is connected to a multi-threaded investigation conducted under the supervision of the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Rzeszów.
On 20 January 2026, officers of the Regional Office of the CBA in Rzeszów detained a businessman from Łódź suspected of numerous economic and fiscal crimes that allegedly resulted in significant losses to the State Treasury.
Investigation into the purchase of real estate
Officers of the Regional Office of the CBA in Rzeszów are conducting preparatory proceedings regarding the abuse of authority for financial gain in connection with the granting of a targeted subsidy for investment expenditures related to the purchase of real estate, through the conclusion of an agreement that failed to properly safeguard the interests of the State Treasury. These actions may have caused damage to the public interest and exposed the State Treasury to losses exceeding PLN 21 million.
Fraud exceeding PLN 10 million
According to investigative findings, the detainee persuaded the president of one of the Warsaw-based companies to submit false VAT and CIT tax returns, concealing a transaction involving the sale of real estate located in Warsaw. These actions allegedly led to the depletion of value-added tax and corporate income tax in a total amount exceeding PLN 7 million.
The detainee also allegedly caused the failure to collect and pay advances on personal income tax related to the division of assets of a liquidated company. This conduct exposed the State Treasury to further losses of at least PLN 3 million.
Moreover, the man is suspected of misappropriating entrusted property of significant value, exceeding PLN 1 million, while serving as president of the management board of one of the Warsaw-based companies.
Charges and preventive measures
The detainee was brought before the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Rzeszów. The prosecutor presented charges and applied non-custodial preventive measures in the form of a financial surety, police supervision, and a ban on leaving the country.
The investigation is ongoing
This is the first operational action in the proceedings. Further procedural activities are planned.
