Poland’s Central Anti-Corruption Bureau has detained four lawyers from a tax consultancy firm and one businessman as part of a probe into chemical products company Azoty Zakłady Chemiczne Police.

The tax consultancy firm for which the lawyers work offers tax optimisation services using companies registered in tax havens, state broadcaster Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.

Investigators are probing suspected money laundering and obstruction of criminal proceedings, according to IAR.

The Central Anti-Corruption Bureau last year detained 10 people as part of its probe, including members of the chemicals company’s management board.
