We represented one of the leading sellers of gold, silver, diamonds and antiques in Poland in criminal proceedings initiated in connection with alleged illegal financial activities and VAT fraud. The complexity of the case was also influenced by the involvement of public administration authorities, including the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF).

Our law firm’s activities led to the discontinuation of the proceedings, which enabled the client to resume its business operations, temporarily suspended due to the ongoing criminal proceedings.
