Legal adviser accused of fraud in purchase of debts of Warsaw hotels
According to e-hotelarz.pl, the prosecution has accused legal adviser Piotr G. of fraud in connection with an attempt to purchase receivables from PKO BP. The companies Polaris and CFI were allegedly to transfer him a total of 3.7 million zlotys for the purchase of debts of two bankrupt firms linked to the Warsaw Plaza hotel in Warsaw and the Masuria hotel in Worliny. The indictment was submitted to the court in December 2025.
PKO BP had financed the construction of both facilities and held receivables against the linked companies worth several tens of millions of zlotys. The purchase was entrusted to Piotr G. by Łódź investor Adam K., who controlled CFI Holding. The company Mar-In, which was managed by the legal adviser, submitted an official purchase offer. The bank rejected it in November 2018.
Polaris transferred the legal adviser the first million zlotys before the bank's refusal. In 2019–2020, CFI transferred him an additional 2.675 million zlotys in two instalments. According to the indictment, Piotr G. allegedly presented forged bank and notarial documents to Adam K., claiming that a contract with the bank had been signed. The prosecution believes that he used the money for current office expenses.
Piotr G. denied to "Puls Biznesu" that he intended to defraud anyone. He claimed that he had settled accounts with both companies. Adam K. refused to comment to the newspaper. At the same time, the case is complicated by the fact that the legal adviser represented this investor as one of his defenders.
Adam K. himself is suspected in a separate investigation by the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Łódź of heading an organised criminal group that allegedly committed financial fraud exceeding 200 million zlotys. The proceedings cover the takeover of the Masuria hotel in Worliny. The businessman denies the charges.
In May, a court in Łódź found Adam K. guilty of acting to the detriment of creditors of the Warsaw Plaza Hotel company. The case concerned the takeover in 2015 of property at ul. Łączyny by entities linked to the investor. At that time, the hotel was valued at 46.7 million zlotys, and the company had over 50 creditors. The judgment is not final, and the investor has announced an appeal.
In March 2026, administrator Glob Investment concluded a sale agreement for the property on which the 65-room Masuria Hotel & SPA operates. The Eligno Foundation cited this transaction as the basis for its rights to the facility. CFI Holding had previously informed that its subsidiary Central Fund of Immovables was operating the hotel as a tenant and was contesting the previous acquisition of the property by Glob Investment.
