The incident occurred on February 3, 2016. Police officers from the Department for Combating Economic Crime of the District Police Headquarters in Lubin detained a 55-year-old resident of Podkarpackie Voivodeship suspected of loan fraud.
The man took out a loan at one of the banks in Lubin. After repaying it, he periodically received telephone calls from the institution offering him another loan. He explained that he had been called so many times that he eventually decided to obtain financial support in the amount of PLN 44,000.
There was one problem: he did not have a job. Nevertheless, while visiting family in Lubin, he decided to forge a certificate of employment and income from his former company. He then went to the bank with the forged document. When he came to collect the money, police officers were already waiting for him at the bank. He was detained. He faces up to five years in prison.
