Over 3 million zlotys swindled from the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP). Three persons detained by the CBA
The officers of the CBA from Cracow have detained three persons suspected of fraud to the detriment of the Polish Agency for Entreprise Development. In the years 2008-2016 they were supposed to swindle over 3 million zlotys.
The agents of the Regional Office of the CBA in Cracow have detained three entrepreneurs from Cracow. The proceedings concern suspicion of swindling in the years 2008-2016 of over 3 million zlotys from the EU funds coming from the program of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development – "Innovative Economy for 2007-2013". The subsidy concerned 3 projects:
- Establishment of the Research and Development Center of the Automotive Industry.
- Establishment of the Research and Development Center for Innovative Electrothermal Technologies.
- A new utility model of self-cleaning cuvettes.
The evidence material collected in the course of the conducted investigation indicates that the beneficiaries of the program mislead the PARP as to the amount of costs incurred in the implementation of individual stages of projects, the identity of entities actually providing specific services, the purchase of goods and services, and used unreliable documents attesting untruth.
The detainees will be transferred to the District Prosecutor’s Office in Cracow, where they will be charged.
