Extortions for over 700 million zlotys. Another person detained

The officers of the Regional Office of the CBA in Białystok have detained another person acting within an organized criminal group. This time, it is the president of one of the companies participating in the carousel scheme, whose actions allowed suspects to make multi-million VAT frauds.

Analysis of the collected evidence showed that under so-called transactions and carousel chains, in 2013-2016, group members exposed the State Treasury to VAT depletion for over PLN 700 million. As it was established, goods in the form of diesel, lubricating oil, gasoline and rapeseed oil were put on the market and fictitiously invoiced. Moreover, false VAT invoices, VAT declarations and accounting documentation were issued.

The detained person will be taken to the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Białystok which supervises the proceedings. The detainee will hear allegations, including participation in an organized criminal group.

This is the 13th suspect in the case.
