The Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has pressed charges against a Turkish citizen, Abdulbaki T., in connection with his alleged cooperation with an organized criminal group operating in Wólka Kosowska. According to the indictment, the accused's company from February 2021 to April 2022 commissioned this criminal group to carry out activities aimed at money laundering, evading tax obligations, and conducting international financial transfers. These activities, as determined by investigators, brought millions in profits to the group's members while causing significant losses to the State Treasury. The criminal group under investigation was led by Zbigniew Adam B. and Viet Ha N., alias Paweł. The case constitutes another element of the long-term actions by Polish law enforcement agencies targeting the criminal network linked to the wholesale center in Wólka Kosowska. Wólka Kosowska, a suburb of Warsaw known for the largest textile trading center in Central and Eastern Europe, has for years been associated with tax irregularities and criminal group activities. The first high-profile cases concerning money laundering and VAT fraud in this area were revealed as early as the beginning of the 2010s. The indictment has been filed with the District Court in Warsaw, which will handle the case. The prosecution spokesperson, „Śledczy prześwietlili działalność oskarżonego” (Investigators thoroughly examined the accused's activities) — prok. Mateusz Martyniuk, confirmed the filing of the indictment. The case of Abdulbaki T. fits into the broader fight against organized crime that has been ongoing for years around the wholesale center in Wólka Kosowska. Liberal media emphasize systemic negligence by tax authorities and the long-term powerlessness of the state in the face of the scale of the scheme, pointing to the need for deep reforms. | Conservative media highlight the determination and successes of the current authorities in combating economic crime, presenting the filing of the indictment as proof of the effectiveness of new investigative methods.
