Five persons detained by the CBA with charges in connection with fraudulent VAT refunds
Another blow to the organised criminal group, whose members are suspected of, among others, issuing unreliable VAT invoices. This time 5 persons have been detained. There are already over 40 suspects in the entire investigation.
The officers of the CBA Regional Office in Rzeszów have carried out activities in connection with an investigation concerning a criminal group extorting VAT by issuing inaccurate TAX-FREE documents, thus exposing the State Treasury to a loss of great value. According to the officers, over 40 business entities may have been involved in this criminal practice.
This time, the officers detained five persons connected with the group's operation in the Wielkopolska and Lower Silesia regions. The investigators' findings indicate that the detainees allegedly supplied electronic equipment to entities which then extorted VAT worth over PLN 2 million.
The proceedings have been supervised by the Regional Public Prosecutor's Office in Lublin, which presented charges to the detainees. The prosecutor applied non-custodial preventive measures against all of them.
The activities which are being conducted are the next stage of a multithreaded investigation, in the course of which earlier charges were brought against, among others, owners of enterprises which issued the so-called blank invoices and Grzegorz P., the former Head of the Tax Office in Jarosław, who extended a "protective umbrella" over entrepreneurs operating in the Tax Office subordinate to him. So far, in all the cases, over 40 persons have been charged.
Further threads of the case are being investigated.
