CBA from Poznań – 3 persons caught red-handed
The Agents of the Regional Office of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in Poznań, as a result of a special operation, have detained 4 persons -, among them 3 were caught red-handed -, involved in a practice of selling fictious VAT invoices and attempt to commit the offence of introducing into circulation fictitious loans.
Detentions are the result of a special operation. Four entrepreneurs from the Wielkopolska Voivodeship offered to issue and sell fictitious VAT invoices, which were worth over 10 million zlotys. In exchange, they demanded a bribe in the amount of over 1,400,000 zlotys.
The suspects proposed concluding a loan agreement attesting untruth for a sum of 12 million zlotys. The fictitious agreement aimed at introducing into the economic trade money coming from crimes, mainly from VAT extortions. For issuing such a loan agreement, they expected a commission of nearly 1.5 million zlotys.
The CBA’s agents searched the detainees' apartments and company premises as well as accounting offices. Documents, storage media and electronic data related to the criminal activity of detained persons were secured there.
The detainees will be transferred to the National Prosecutor’s Office in Poznań where they will be charged.
