Further acts of VAT extortion, further detentions by CBA
Three individuals have been detained by the CBA in connection with VAT fraud for a total amount of PLN 1 million. The case is active and further detentions are being planned.
The officers of the Regional Office of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau in Katowice have detained three individuals running their businesses in Silesia (Śląsk). This is a continuation of the investigation, which has been conducted jointly by the CBA and the District Prosecutor's Office in Kraków. The proceedings concern the operation of an organised crime group circulating VAT invoices, attesting an untruth. The value of the fraudulent invoices, disclosed at this stage of the investigation, amounts to over PLN 29 million.
After the completion of the activities in the places of the detainees’ residence, the detainees will be taken to the Prosecutor's Office, where they will be charged with using fictitious invoices for advertising and event services amounting to almost PLN 1 million. The procedure took place in the years 2018 - 2019.
This is the sixth procedural operation to this effect. So far, almost 30 people have been detained and charged during the investigation. The case is in progress.
