Joint activities of the CBA, the CBŚP and KAS
Officers from the Central Anticorruption Bureau, the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Police, and the National Revenue Administration have detained two individuals suspected of participating in an organized crime group and money laundering. The investigation is supervised by the Małopolska Regional Branch of the Department for Organized Crime and Corruption of the National Public Prosecutor’s Office in Kraków.
On November 18, 2025, officers from the CBA Regional Office in Kraków, acting in conjunction with officers from the Central Bureau of Investigation of the Police and the National Revenue Administration (KAS) in the Małopolska Voivodeship, detained two women, one of whom was a confectionery entrepreneur. During the operation, officers seized cash, documentation, cell phones, and data storage devices that could constitute evidence in the case.
Organized Crime Group
The part of the investigation assigned to CBA officers in May 2025 concerns criminal activity carried out within an organized crime group. Evidence indicate that from January 2011 to July 2021, the suspects operated in a money laundering group in the Małopolska Voivodeship. These individuals invested the funds in, among other things, the purchase of movable and real estate, making this a regular source of income.
These funds were also transferred through the bank accounts of the suspects' family members and related individuals.
These activities were aimed at hindering the detection, seizure, and forfeiture of the proceeds of crime. Ultimately, the suspects allegedly obtained financial benefits totaling over PLN 1.5 million.
Charges and Preventive Measures
Two women detained by CBA officers were brought to the Małopolska Branch of the Department of Organized Crime and Corruption of the National Prosecutor's Office in Kraków. They were charged with money laundering and participating in a criminal group.
By order of the Prosecutor, the suspects were placed under non-custodial preventive measures, including police supervision, a ban on contact with the individuals indicated, and a ban on leaving the country. A bail of PLN 80,000 was imposed.
Cooperation Between Services
A total of 14 individuals were arrested as part of the joint investigation.
The operation was made possible thanks to effective cooperation between officers of the CBA, CBŚP, and KAS. Joint operational and analytical efforts contributed to securing key evidence and identifying financial flows linked to the criminal activity.
