A lawyer from Poznań as a suspect
The officers of the CBA Regional Office in Warsaw, jointly with the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Wrocław, have been carrying out an investigation into using forged documents to initiate execution proceedings to recover liabilities that did not exist.
Those practices, used by a group of legal advisers, concerned the funds accumulated in court deposit accounts which, due to various circumstances, could not be paid out to entitled persons and entities.
As a result, over several years, they obtained approximately PLN 2 million and attempted to obtain a further half a million zlotys. The activities were based on their knowledge of court practice in proceedings concerning funds held in deposit accounts while exploiting loopholes in the enforcement procedure.
In recent days, charges in this case were brought against a Poznań lawyer. The suspect was charged with aiding and abetting fraud as well as forging documents to extort over PLN 110,000 from a court deposit.
To date, charges have been brought against 9 persons, mostly legal advisers from the area of Wrocław.
