The CBA's Regional Office in Katowice conducts an investigation on irregularities in the Mine Restructuring Company S.A. based in Bytom.
Agents of CBA near Tarnowskie Góry detained Bogdan P., until recently director of Coal Mine Makoszowy. During the investigation period he was also the Deputy Director of the Central Department of Dewatering of Mines. The officers searched his apartment. The detainee will be transported to the Silesian prosecutor's office, where he will hear charges of corruption, such as accepting bribes.
The whole case started with the officers' own findings and the subsequent special operation of the CBA in the parking lot in front of the shopping center in Silesia. Officers from the CBA's Regional Office in Katowice detained in June this year, red-handed the Vice-President of the Management Board - Director of the Office of Mine Decommissioning and Environmental Protection of the Mine Restructuring Company S.A. Mirosław S. and Grzegorz G., president of a company connected with mines performing million worth orders to the SRK (Mine Restructuring Company).
The detention took place a moment after Mirosław S. took 30 thousand PLN bribe for preferential treatment of the Katowice-based company connected to mines in public tenders organized by the Mine Restructuring Company.
A few weeks later, the CBA agents detained Mark C., the head of the mine liquidation monitoring team at Mine Restructuring Company. Marek C. in return for bribes favored the company connected to mines, making it easier for it to obtain orders for works related to the decommissioning of mines owned by the SRK. During the investigation, our agents determined, that Marek C., in addition to cash, was given a luxury car with a fuel card. In a few months he spent only on fuel 16 thousand PLN.
Against the suspects, detained in June and July this year by the CBA, the court decided on a temporary detention.
