Former head of “cover” at the CBA arrested
For several months, a former CBA officer has been behind the walls of a pretrial detention center, who in recent years supervised the work of “covers”, i.e. agents penetrating criminal structures – according to the findings of tvn24.pl. In a secret investigation, the prosecutor's office examines other threads regarding possible crimes and abuses of officers of various formations.
The tvn24.pl editorial team has been trying for a long time to obtain official information regarding the proceedings taking place in the prosecutor's organized crime and corruption section (so-called pezety).
Ultimately, we received – in response to a number of questions – only a few sentences sent to us by prosecutor Katarzyna Calów-Jaszewska from the press department of the National Prosecutor's Office. They show that the investigation into the officers is ongoing in the Lower Silesian “pezety” branch.
– One of the suspects in the case is a person who was an officer of the Central Investigation Bureau, then of the Tax Administration Chamber and the Central Anticorruption Bureau – prosecutor Calów-Jaszewska told us.
