Interbrok Investment is said to have cheated its clients at PLN 0.5 billion (EUR 133.5m) or more. Investment accounts of its clients were run by BRE Bank.
“We will check how Interbrok cooperated with BRE Bank”, Jaroslaw Onyszczuk from Warsaw prosecutor’s office said. “We cannot comment”, Paulina Rutkowska, BRE Bank spokeswoman said.
“PB” has managed to state that the listed bank informed the prosecutor’s office that Interbrok had falsified bank guarantees stating that BRE Bank was guaranteeing 90 percent of Interbrok clients’ funds.
“Maybe they were falsified but where did Interbrok owners have official papers from BRE Bank? Is it a coincidence, that one of them, Andrzej K., was the member of BRE Bank’s supervisory board in the years 2002-04?”, one of the clients complains.
Moreover, Interbrok run operations with the necessary license from the Commission of Financial Supervision.
“BRE Bank knew about it, as well as about losses. It’s strange that it should have accepted it”, one of forex market specialists said. Among the clients of Interbrok there are celebrities and politicians.
