A businessman from Gdańsk detained by CBA
The CBA officers have detained an entrepreneur suspected of participation in using fictitious invoices for almost PLN 1 million.
Another person has been detained by the CBA Regional Office in a multi-threaded investigation into alleged manipulation of financial instruments and money laundering.
In the course of the activities carried out in this case, extensive evidence was collected to confirm the operation of a criminal group which issued and used unreliable VAT invoices documenting fictitious trading in scrap steel and non-ferrous metals. The group consisted of representatives of companies from the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship dealing in scrap metal. The investigation findings indicate that the practice lasted from 2017 to 2018.
In recent days, the CBA officers have detained another person involved in the corrupt practice. This time, the owner of a company from Gdańsk dealing in scrap metal was detained. Findings resulting from the investigation indicate that in economic transactions the man used false invoices worth almost PLN 900,000 which were then used as a basis for determining public law receivables. The invoices were also used to obtain financial support (factoring), thus misleading the employees of one of the banks.
In the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw, the detainee was charged with fraud and certifying untruths in documents. The prosecutor applied against him a supervision order and a bail of PLN 100,000.
