Prosecutor's Office on Obalko: trifles versus billion-dollar scams
Investigators analyse, among others, the making of false statements, the usage of detective services against democratic opposition or individual expenses specified as cosmetic treatments, implants, Botox or luxury shopping.
These are, of course, criminal acts, but in comparison with possible fraud, the value of which is calculated in billions of PLN, is only a margin.
Orlen Trading Switzerland – company without justification
This decision was made without clear economical justification.
Officially, OTS was to acquisition oil for Orlen, although for decades the company has been effectively extracting natural material straight from trusted suppliers from around the planet — without intermediaries and without Swiss “daughter companies”.
The very establishment of the OTS should rise the vigilance of state services.
Samer Awad – president with problematic background
He put OTS Obietek as president Samera Awada — a individual of Lebanese or Syrian origin.
Moreover, Obietek sent a letter to the prosecutor's office in Bydgoszcz investigating Awad's VAT fraud in which he denied that the Awad was employed in Orlen.
But Obietek was the most desirable by Kaczyński of those willing to blow him – so OTS with president Awad was created.
A vanishing president and billions
Shortly after the creation of the OTS, Obietek authorized a transfer from Orlen to Awada at OTS in tallness around PLN 1.6 billion (i.e. nearly $400 million).
This appropriation was intended to cover the acquisition of oil.
Shortly thereafter, both the money and Samer Awad disappeared.
The funds went to a company registered in Dubai, run by a 25-year-old UAE citizen. Shortly thereafter, Awad himself moved to the Emirates.
Consequently, Orlen was forced to make a copy of the amount PLN 1.6 billion in financial statements, which means the actual failure of that amount.
Some of the money is financed by the organization in Poland, which made this scam possible, and goes to Obaltek, who with Awad organized this scam.
Investigation and deficiency of responsibility
The investigation is ongoing Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw.
Samer Awad presently resides in United arabian Emirates, which do not give Muslim believers to countries where Sunni Islam is not a state religion — which in practice prevents extradition. Especially since he put the money in there.
In this situation, the key question remains: Why doesn't the D.A. direct charges against Daniel Obiek and the people who authorized the transfers?
The decision to donate PLN 1.6 billion without real security, without economical justification and against the warnings of the service is simply a clear scam.
Summary
Today, the prosecution focuses on secondary threads, while the essence of the case — a possible transfer of billions of PLN of public funds outside the control of the state — remains without real consequences for those responsible.
It's not a question of Botox or luxury shopping, but of... One of the most serious written scandals.
