11 luxury cars secured by the police. They belonged to the Zondacrypto suspect

The police acted on the orders of a prosecutor from a special team established for the Zondacrypto case. The female suspect had previously been arrested for three months.

Proc. Adamiak also reported that on Wednesday, a meeting was held between the Prosecutor General and prosecutors from the special team No. 4 for Zondacrypto with the trustee of BB Trade Estonia (the operator of Zondacrypto) and representatives of creditors.

"The main topic of the talks was the possibility of cooperation in identifying and securing assets that may be important for satisfying the claims of injured stock exchange clients," said prosecutor Adamiak.

PLN 125 million secured, but not all of it will go to the victims

So far, approximately PLN 125 million has been secured in these proceedings. However, some of the assets are related to other threads of the case and do not come from benefits obtained at the expense of Zondacrypto clients.

"This means that not all secured assets can be used to satisfy the claims of injured stock exchange customers," emphasized prosecutor Adamiak.

She also explained that criminal proceedings and bankruptcy proceedings are separate procedures and serve different purposes.

"The prosecutor's office determines whether crimes have occurred in connection with the stock exchange's operations and collects the evidence necessary to bring any perpetrators to justice. The task of the trustee is to determine and collect the assets of the bankruptcy estate and take actions aimed at satisfying the civil law claims of creditors in accordance with applicable regulations," she added.

Combined investigations

Proceedings regarding the Zondacrypto cryptocurrency exchange were initiated by the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Katowice on April 17 for fraud of significant value and money laundering. So far, several thousand crime reports have been received.
