Reprivatisation fraud in Warsaw

The reprivatisation in Warsaw , which reversed the post-World War II the nationalisation of the whole city land, had led to considerable amount of fraud.[1][2]

A lot by Chmielna Street (far upper right) that had stirred the reprivatisation scandal

A particularly notable affair regarding a lot by Chmielna Street in the downtown of Warsaw was uncovered after a series of investigative reports published by Gazeta Wyborcza in 2016.[3] (This had earned the journalists the Grand Press 2016 award, the highest award for journalism in Poland[4] and several other awards. )

In 2017 the Polish government established a dedicated Commission for Issues of Warsaw Real Estate Reprivatisation; as of July 2018 the Commission has reversed over a dozen of the decisions, but some of its rulings have led to further controversies and several trials.[5]
