Fictitious VAT invoices - further detentions by the CBA
The officers from the Regional Office of the CBA in Rzeszów have detained 4 more people involved in VAT fraud.
They tried to extort VAT by attesting untruth in the documents 'VAT refund for travellers’ and by issuing so-called blank invoices. They exposed the State Treasury to a tax depletion of over PLN 1 million, invoices were issued for over PLN 6 million. The criminal practice consisted in creating a chain of links between business entities which fictitiously traded goods between themselves. The goods would then, also fictitiously, be exported out of the country. Bureau's officers are performing tasks ordered by the National Prosecutor's Office in Rzeszów, where detainees will hear allegations.
So far, 21 people have heard allegations in this case - who have been subject to preventive measures and arrests.
