Entrepreneurs detained by the CBA. Fictitious invoices
The officers of the CBA have detained more persons involved in a practice of extorting VAT tax. The value of fictitious invoices introduced into circulation by detainees amounts to several hundred thousand zlotys.
Four owners of private companies operating in the financial, consulting and service industries on the territory of the Lublin and Podkarpackie voivodeships have been detained by the officers of the Regional Office of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in Rzeszów. The detainees, acting in an organised criminal group dealing with, among others, in 2014-2018 extortions of VAT tax, introduced into circulation invoices documenting fictitious trade in goods. The value of fictitious invoices introduced into circulation by detainees amounts to several hundred thousand zlotys.
Today’s activities are the next stage of a multi-thread investigation, in which the owner of the enterprise that issued "blank invoices" had already heard allegations.
The detainees, along with the material collected in the course of the activities, will be transferred to the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Lublin, where they will be charged.
