Description

What the bribe bought

No benefit to the company is documented: per the report, the court found no evidence that the roads board treated the company favourably after the bribe. The firm was taking part in public procurement in Kraków.

What happened

A former director of Kraków's roads board accepted partial construction of a house in Kryspinów from a construction firm taking part in public procurement. The works included plaster, terraces, insulation, facade, windows, oak stairs, parquet and a plot fence. The court valued the benefit at more than 860 thousand zloty (first instance: more than 550 thousand). For this and two other threads he got 5.5 years in prison and a 70,000 zloty fine. A cassation is pending at the Supreme Court.
