Is it possible to create an economic criminal?

‘Is it easy to create an economic offender? – the question posed by the Author, is not unfounded. The approaching controversial actions of the prosecutor’s office and the frequent temporary arrests of businessmen raise many doubts about the legitimacy of such actions.”
An article by advocate Bartłomiej Pietruszka was published in Dziennik Gazeta Prawna on Tuesday 21.05.2024. We also encourage you to read the whole thing here 🙂
For years, with the legal state remaining unchanged, with successive changes of power, prosecution proceedings in business cases have been initiated, many of which never even reach court
The question posed in the title could be considered provocative, but if one looks at some criminal proceedings, especially those publicised in the media, it is no longer so absurd.
One constantly hears about arrests of representatives of the business community in the broad sense of the term, against whom pre-trial detention is very often applied.
Voices of protest are then raised and appeals are made to the judiciary at large to refrain from such actions, especially as this is not a case of violent criminal offences and traditional criminal groups.
It is also very often heard then that these are political arrests.
In fact, these types of cases are heard about from time to time, regardless of who is in power.
On the face of it, this could mean that, according to the calculus of probability, there are simply serious economic scandals from time to time that need to be responded to.
In a word: “that’s just the way it is”.
But is it really?
