Details of the Tax Secret Breach
According to the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Białystok, Tadeusz G., the former director of the Tax Administration Chamber in Krakow, disclosed confidential tax information to unauthorized parties while performing his duties. Prosecutors stated that one of these disclosures assisted a perpetrator in evading criminal liability regarding actions conducted by the Krakow-Stare Miasto Tax Office.
Tadeusz G. admitted to unlawfully providing Marian B. with information concerning tax audits and investigations conducted by the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA). Consequently, Marian B. was charged in 2025 with inducing Tadeusz G. to leak these secrets, leading to a formal indictment filed at the Krakow court on July 9.
Indictment of NIK Official
The indictment also includes Beata O., the former director of the NIK delegation in Warsaw. Prosecutors allege she induced a public official to commit a prohibited act, specifically the disclosure of tax secrets and abuse of power to the detriment of public interest and the State Treasury.
Background of the Long-Running Investigation
The investigation, active since 2019, was initiated following notifications from the CBA, the General Inspector of Financial Information, and a group of opposition parliamentarians. Initial focus was placed on allegations that Marian B. filed false asset declarations and failed to report income from the rental of a Krakow townhouse.
Additional Charges and Fraud Allegations
In a separate thread of the same investigation, authorities previously detained the son of the former NIK president, Jakub B., his wife Agnieszka, and Tadeusz G. Charges involved the alleged defrauding of approximately 120,000 PLN from the National Fund for the Revitalization of Krakow Monuments and nearly 80,000 PLN in VAT fraud.
The suspects, including the former NIK president, have denied the allegations and provided explanations. Financial bail and other measures have been applied in connection with the ongoing proceedings.
