Former local government official and his wife sentenced for multimillion-dollar fraud against farmers

A court in Siedlce ruled that Marek G. and Małgorzata G. must compensate victims after being found guilty of agricultural fraud, while Dawid Sz. was acquitted. The defendants misled farmers by offering favorable prices but failed to pay for the goods, resulting in losses exceeding seven million PLN for 140 victims. The ruling is not final, and appeals are possible. The prosecutor requested Marek G.'s detention due to flight risk, but the court denied this request.
