CBA has detained 2 more persons in a financial pyramid case
Since 2020, officers of the CBA Regional Office in Katowice and the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw have been investigating an organised crime group that created a Ponzi scheme. The investigators' findings indicate that the brokerage company, at least between 2016 and 2020, offered to sell financial instruments (mainly bonds) to several dozen entities operating in various industries, mainly in the real estate market. According to the documentation, the company's employees, acting for financial gain, misled clients by offering to sell bonds of companies with questionable financial standing. To date, charges have been brought against a total of seven persons, including members of the management board of the said company.
In recent days, two more persons have been detained, including the director of the company's analysis division and the sales director. Said persons were charged with participation in criminal activities of an organised crime group and fraud of PLN 23,361,000 and PLN 62,163,000.
After conducting activities with the suspects, the prosecutor applied non-custodial preventive measures in the form of bail of PLN 200,000 and PLN 150,000, respectively, police supervision, a ban on contacting the co-suspects, and a ban on leaving the country combined with the retention of passports.
The investigation is developing.
