Businessman sets local tax office on fire to destroy incriminating evidence

A businessman from Wloclawek set his local tax office on fire to destroy documents incriminating him of fraud. A police patrol was passing by, noticed the fire and called the fire department. The office had been investigating Roman G. for falsified VAT receipts. The man told the police that he had not set the fire himself, but had hired someone else. However, police believe that he climbed through the window, found the cabinet with his documents and set fire to it, hoping that the blaze would spread and that firemen would not be able to determine where it had started.
