The CBA crashing into the fuel mafia - fictitious invoices for PLN 1.3 billion
The use of incorrect invoices to the amount of approximately PLN 1.3 billion is one of the charges faced by another person detained by the CBA in the so-called fuel mafia case.
The CBA officers of the Regional Office in Łódź are continuing their activities in connection with the investigation into the "fuel mafia" operation on the territory of the Republic of Poland in the years 2013-2018. In connection with this case, another person has been detained in Mazowsze. This time, it is a Latvian citizen, son of the founder and leader of an organised crime group, who is hiding in the United Arab Emirates.
In the criminal scheme, the detainee acted as the chairman of the board of directors and a shareholder of a fuel company trading in the years 2013 - 2015. In the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Białystok, the man faced charges of participation in criminal activities of an organised crime group, using incorrect invoices for the total amount of about PLN 1.3 billion, and exposure to the depletion and reduction of the State Treasury receivables for the amount of about PLN 300 million due to the unpaid VAT.
By court decision, the detainee will spend the next three months in custody.
This is another thread of a large proceeding conducted by several regional offices of the CBA, in which a total of 110 individuals have faced charges. The investigators' findings indicate that the group placed on the market and then fictitiously invoiced goods in the form of diesel oil, lubricating oil, petrol and rapeseed oil. They also issued fraudulent VAT invoices, attesting an untruth, and accounting documents.
