Marcin D. and two others were detained in Pomerania on April 14th regarding a Warsaw prosecutor’s investigation into large-scale fraud.
Multi-Million Fraud Allegations
Marcin D. and two other individuals were detained on Tuesday, April 14th, in Pomerania in connection with a preparatory proceeding led by the Warsaw District Prosecutor’s Office. They are currently being transported to Warsaw.
The case concerns the commission of a series of multi-million fraud offenses and the legalization of funds obtained through these crimes.
Previous Arrest and Charges
This is not the first time the ex-husband of Marta Kaczyńska has faced such accusations. In August 2015, he was detained by the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau.
He subsequently faced charges of leading an organized crime group, defrauding 14.5 million PLN from PFRON (State Fund for Rehabilitation of the Disabled), and laundering dirty money worth 8.4 million PLN. He spent 14 months in custody, being released in October 2016 after posting a 3 million PLN property bail.
Ongoing Legal Proceedings
In December 2017, an indictment was filed in the case with the District Court in Krakow, encompassing nine individuals, including Marcin D. In September 2015, the District Bar Council in Gdańsk suspended him from practicing law.
Four years later, in December 2019, the Szczecin District Court issued a ruling for the arrest of Marcin D. for two months in connection with charges of paid protection in the SKOK Wołomin case.
Connection to Separate Fraud Investigation
Unofficially, it has been reported that the arrest is linked to another investigation by the Warsaw prosecutor’s office concerning Dorota R., who is suspected of fraud.
