Almost PLN 6.5 million extorted from PARP - CBA detained 6 individuals
The officers of the Regional Office of the CBA in Katowice have detained 6 management board members of a company supporting start-ups, which received funding from the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP).
The detentions are connected with the investigation into a fraud amounting to PLN 8.5 million to the detriment of the PARP. The suspects obtained the funding from the Agency. Afterwards, acting against the provisions of the support agreement, the money was taken out to their own businesses via shell companies.
The detainees will be taken to the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Katowice, where they will be presented with charges, including participation in criminal activities of an organised crime group, fraud amounting to PLN 8.5 million, and money laundering in the amount of PLN 6,500,000.
The case is in progress, and further detentions are still possible.
