The CBA prevents laundering of €50 million. 1 million in cash secured
Six individuals have been detained red-handed by the officers of the Regional Office of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in Łódź. They are suspected of laundering the proceeds of crime.
They were detained when passing PLN 1 million in cash, of which PLN 600 thousand was to be subject to legalisation of the proceeds of crime, while the rest of the amount constituted a financial advantage in exchange for money laundering. It was the first tranche to be legalised under a contract for fictitious construction works. The criminal group also intended to implement other long-term measures aiming to legalise €50 million. The detained individuals are entrepreneurs operating mostly in real property development. After the detention, a number of searches, and other procedural activities carried out on the territory of the Mazovian and warmińsko-mazurskie voivodeships, the detainees will be put at the disposal of the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw.
