CBA prevents swindling over PLN 100 million
The agents of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau have detained three members of an organised criminal group extorting VAT tax on a large scale.
The officers of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau from Białystok on the territory of the łódzkie voivodeship have detained three persons acting in an organised criminal group extorting VAT tax. The detainees participated in a transaction related to the takeover by a criminal group of a company with a liquid fuel license the so-called OPC concession, to use it to extort an undue VAT refund in the amount of over PLN 100 million in the course of further criminal activities.
The amount indicated was the value of VAT tax resulting from previously issued by other members of the group false invoices for the amount of almost half a billion PLN, documenting the fictitious turnover of hundreds of thousands of mobile phones.
As a result of the actions of the Prosecutor's Office and the CBA, detriment to the State Treasury was prevented. The funds remained in the budget.
The investigation has begun in May 2017. At that time, as a result of actions taken, three persons connected with issuing invoices for over 300,000 mobile phones were detained. The last detentions took place in September this year, when the head of the criminal group and the main organizer of the criminal procedure were detained. In relation to this person, the District Court in Białystok ordered against him temporary detention.
