The arrest warrant was issued "immediately after the District Court of Poznań - Stare Miasto in Poznań (...) ordered temporary arrest for a period of 30 days from the moment of arrest," the prosecutor's office said in a statement on Monday.

According to the prosecutor’s office and the court, there are grounds for applying temporary arrest to Marcin P. – fears of obstruction, the man being in hiding and the severe penalty he faces (up to 25 years of imprisonment).

The wanted man is currently outside Poland. The Regional Prosecutor's Office in Poznań reported that "no procedural actions involving Marcin P. have been carried out so far."

“The case is of a developing nature,” the statement added.

Since October of last year, the prosecutor's office has been investigating over 7,000 complaints from users of the cinkciarz.pl portal. Customers of the online currency exchange company have not recovered their deposits. The prosecutor's office estimates the customer loss at over PLN 112 million.

Client losses exceeding PLN 112 million. Further arrests in the case.

One of Cinkciarz.pl's management board members, Robert G., was detained in March and subsequently temporarily arrested. Two months later, Monika J., primarily an accountant and commercial proxy for the company, was also temporarily arrested. Unlike the previously arrested woman, she pleaded guilty to the charges. The accountant provided a detailed explanation.

In October 2024, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) investigated the website's operations after receiving customer complaints about Cinkciarz.pl 's currency exchange services. The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) received similar reports. Cinkciarz.pl reportedly informed its customers that the delays in order processing were due to a defect that would be fixed within a specified timeframe.
