Lucjan Tooth (agricultural-planting industry):
– I am a typical of more than 100 agricultural companies affected – we buy fruit. We've been tricked! The procedure has already lasted 3 years by Ukrainian oligarch Taras Barszczowskiwho tricked the fruit-buyers from farmers. If we hadn't paid the farmers the money, there wouldn't have been 100 of us, just 2000 of us.
The company [Barszczowski] continues to transport concentrate from Ukraine. His vehicles are in Poland, under German plants in Poland. There are no limits. That's all. He's got a BOLO on him. He's only wanted in our country. I request an global BOLO. He cheated on hundreds of millions of state treasures, taxation offices. taxation office to this day can not collect 8 million PLN VAT.
The Polish bank, I will not name it, is cheated over 120 million PLN. You don't say that out loud.
– This is the Ukrainian oligarch who continues to benefit from the abolition of duties by the Union. He is no longer in request of bets in Poland. The bets [belonging to Barszczowski who fell] were called T.B. Fruit and they are now unnecessary for the Union to abolish duties. In our country [Barszczowski] earns immense money by transporting concentrate. This is inactive going on. We request that this man be prosecuted immediately.
