Wroclaw Mayor and former city treasurer face charges

The Legnica Public Prosecutor may file suit today against Wroclaw mayor Bogdan Zdrojewski and former city treasurer Leontyna G, accusing them of delaying tax payments and thus subjecting the local budget to financial losses of more than zl.74 million and the national budget to losses of approximately zl.45 million, Rzeczpospolita has learned. The City Office in Wroclaw announced in an official statement that Zdrojewski has evidence proving his innocence. The city of Wroclaw was required to pay both the outstanding taxes and the interest from its own coffers, and as a result the Tax Office took possession of some city-owned real estate.
