Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw initiating checking activities in relation to reports of irregularities in the award of grants from the National Recovery Plan. There's a million-dollar fraud involved.
The Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw informed that on Friday, on its own initiative, it had undertaken verifications in connection with media reports on irregularities in the grant granting of grants from the KPO. The scandal concerns embezzlement for private purposes up to PLN 1.2 billion. Consequently, the voice was forced to take Donald Tusk himself, who stated that he would not accept any waste of funds from the KPO. He pointed out that the control of the Polish Agency for Enterprise improvement is being carried out, which is liable for micro-programmes, which were to support the hotel and restaurant-catering industry.
– Zero tolerance for this kind of practice – he said. However, his assurances will not change much, as the scandal hits his government first. It was the PO squad that attacked the Law and Justice for 3 years for the fact that the KPO was halted by the EU institutions and the unlocking of this money (in fact loans) Tusk presented as the main success of his first phase of government in 2023. As we can see, erstwhile the funds were unlocked, they went to fraudsters, which, by the way, fits beautifully into the overall modus operandi of this government.
Interestingly, during a peculiar press conference, Deputy Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Jan Szyszko pointed out that information on irregularities reached government factors "a fewer weeks ago". He stated that the results of the checks carried out by the PARP were to be reported in the 3rd 4th of this year. The Deputy Minister informed that Katarzyna Duber-Stachurska was recalled in connection with irregularities at the end of July. He added that the investment in the HoReCa manufacture represents little than 0.5% of the value of the full KPO. He lied due to the fact that it was 0.6% of KPO.
The Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz assured that all agreements that rise doubts are being checked. She noted that over 824,000 contracts had been signed for 1.5 years. “Unfortunately with specified a immense scale of investment, contracts that have not been made can happen,” she pointed out. – KPO is simply a immense improvement chance for Poland, especially for the local one, who desperately needs investment support She added.
For now, the Tusk government has done 1 thing – it has blocked a website on which it was possible to check who and for what it took grants from KPO. This is how he wants to hide the scale of his ineptness and dishonesty. However, nothing lost – as we are dealing with people who are completely inept, the grant map inactive works. You can see it. Here.
This affair is exceptionally ‘fat’. Individual commentators began to ask the grant holders about the absurd services and objects that were to be created for them. It turns out that at least any of them were not created or acquired. This means that the money has been completely embezzled.
