Pallets, business, and mafia reprisal. At first glance, these seem to be incompatible things, but all of them have perfectly connected in a fraudulent scheme, that has been already operating in Poland. We’ll tell you how a manager, with a promising career, has stepped on a wrong path and organized one of the biggest financial scams in Płock.
Robert Kovalchyk and Damian Green – a leader and a subordinate, who are tied up not only by work, but also by closely intertwined bonds of the criminal organization’s scheme. But let’s start from the beginning.
HOW DID IT ALL START?
Two companies have agreed on the supplying of pallets. According to the contract terms, on April 20, 2023, four trucks with the ordered goods arrived at the warehouse in … but an unexpected event occurred – the pallets had vanished without a trace. At least, that’s what the Polish recipient company “Festo Group” claimed, therefore they refused to pay.
THREATS OF PHYSICAL RETRIBUTION
It gets even more interesting. The buyer not only refused to pay for the reportedly missing goods, but also shifted to special methods. The company, that participated as the seller of the goods, received threats of physical reprisal from the local mafia in case of disclosing the information about the unpaid goods.
HOW DID IT ALL WORK, AND WHO IS TO BLAME?
Mr. Robert Kovalchyk is the head of the companies “Tytan Pack” and “Festo Group,” which are already involved in criminal cases of financial fraud. Currently, a criminal case against Mr. Robert Kovalchyk has been opened in Warsaw according to Article 286 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Poland regarding fraud. Based on that, he might be sentenced to a term from six months to eight years.
Kovalchyk shrewdly used Damian Green as a contact person for clients, thereby shifted responsibility to the manager. So Damian Green consciously or unconsciously acted as a connecting link between the client and the criminal, however now he is intentionally avoiding to cooperate with law enforcement agencies. By doing so, Damian exposes himself to criminal liability, that is equal as if he is a criminal. This can lead to the idea that Damian was aware of the illigality of the manager’s actions.
