ZUS did not want to check the Cinkciarz. Did the president's wife extort benefits?

The wife of the Cinkciarz.pl cantor sought after by arrest warrant could be fictitiously employed in his company and in 7 years to receive benefits for the amount of 340 thousand. PLN. The notification in this case went to ZUS a few years ago, but officials refused to initiate proceedings. Now the prosecutor's office has become interested in the matter.


A few years before the collapse of the Cinkciarz.pl online currency exchange office, ZUS received a request to initiate control proceedings in the company. The notification concerned the “apparent employment” of the wife of President Marcin P. – Roxana K.-P., whose goal was to receive high benefits from ZUS.
The case was the first to publicize “TOK FM”, which reached the correspondence between the signalist and the office. According to the application, which went to the ZUS branch in Zielona Góra, Roxana K.-P. “While becoming a second pregnancy, she was fictitious with a very high salary to extort her benefits during maternity and parental leave.”
In the document, which was reached by the editors of “TOK FM”, it was appealed for ZUS to appear in this case as a public prosecutor, because Up to several hundred thousand zlotys could have come into play, which according to the guide should be returned to the Treasury by Marcin P. and his wife Roxana.
The signalist indicated that Roxana K.-P. She did not perform any official duties, did not come to the office and knows nothing about the functioning of the company.
“The task of Roxanie a few simple very basic questions will publish the actual lack of knowledge about economics in general, as well as the lack of knowledge about the company in which she is allegedly employed,” she said in the application.
The author of the report also described that Roxana K.-P. She led a rich social life and spent most of the time abroad on travel and all -day shopping in luxurious boutiques, as evidenced by films and photos published on her Facebook and Instagram.
“It follows from the above profiles and daily live coverage that it is not possible to work for any entity, because her days are filled with other activities. It is even doubtful of her knowledge of how many shares she has and in which companies” – said in the application.
The application for the initiation of proceedings by ZUS was also to include a list of employees who should be questioned to find out what the activities of K.-P.
ZUS washes his hands
ZUS in Zielona Góra refused to initiate proceedings. As justified in the letter, which was reached by the editors of “TOK FM”, the author of the complaint was not a party to the proceedings and did not make his legal interest credible, and according to the provisions, administrative proceedings are initiated either ex officio or at the request of a party.
ZUS also stated that he had “analyzed the likelihood of violation of the law by the contribution payer” (cinkciarz.pl), but he did not find premises to initiate the proceedings. This situation is not hidden by the legal advisor Kamil Zabka, specializing in matters related to the Social Insurance Institutionto which we asked with questions about the lack of reaction of officials.
– ZUS has not only competence, but also the obligation to properly control the benefits paid. The amount of 340 thousand PLN benefit from ZUS is considerable and with such sums of benefits for payment of ZUS, he controls and checks from the office – even after paying – whether the benefits were due. In this context, it is incomprehensible to the lack of response from ZUS officials to notification of possible irregularities in employment in the company – believes patron Kamil Zwonka.
Journalists “TOK FM” wanted to find out whether “Analysis of the probability of violation”, which was mentioned by ZUS, means that the office carried out an inspection in the company. This, however, refused to answer, citing the provisions saying that information on the data contained on the individual account of the insured may only provide with the written consent of Roxana K. – P.
– In fact, ZUS does not want to provide public information what actions he took in this matter and how these actions have ended – comments Kamil Zwonka and adds that we only have speculation. The legal advisor points out that ZUS in many cases undermines employment and demands a return of benefits, but in practice it often turns out that the return of benefits has expired.
– At that time, ZUS involves the prosecutor's office and in this way it can regain the benefits paid earlier even after the deadlines for reimbursement of benefits arising from the provisions of the Social Insurance Law – says Patron Zawka.
The prosecutor's office refuses
In January 2023, the fictitious employment of the wife of the president of Cinkciarz.pl was reported to the ZUS headquarters, the Central Anti -Corruption Bureau, the Prosecutor General Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Family and Social Policy. In addition to previous threads, the document was also possible to abandon the ZUS officials from Zielona Góra, suggesting their corruption connections.
“The lack of any involvement of ZUS Zielona Góra is not explained by the fact that Cinkciarz.pl is a large, influential entrepreneur on the Zielona Góra market, having great financial capabilities” – said in the next application, which “TOK FM” reached.
The complaint was forwarded to the District Prosecutor's Office in Zielona Góra, which in March 2023 refused to initiate an investigationexplaining that the behavior of ZUS officials was lawful because they carried out inspections at Cinkciarz.pl in 2015 and 2022 and did not notice the irregularities regarding the application.
Roxana K. – P. was reported to social insurance as an employee of the company since the beginning of November 2012, and The total amount of the benefits she collected, mainly maternity and guardianship benefits, was PLN 343 005.20 throughout the entire period of employment. So she was employed by cinkciarz.pl during both inspections.
“TOK FM” heard in May 2025 from a spokeswoman for the District Prosecutor's Office in Zielona Góra that ZUS carried out an inspection in an appropriate scope and in accordance with the law. Therefore, witnesses were not questioned due to the lack of grounds to initiate proceedings.
The article reads, however, that journalists reached a dozen or so employees employed in various companies included in the Conotoxia group, which owns the cinkciarz.pl currency exchange office. Each person confirmed that she did not see that Roxana K. – P. appeared in the office. One of the editor's interlocutors emphasized that he saw her only once in 3 years during a company event.
The case is coming back
Despite the previous declarations of the prosecutor's office, it turned out that in July 2025 she returned to the fictitious employment of the wife of the president of Cinkciarz.pl. This time she focused on alleged fraud, not the role of officials. Investigators examine whether there has been a extortion of the mentioned 343 thousand zlotys by misleading ZUS employees.
However, the situation raises doubts. As Patron Kamil Zawka notes, if ZUS has not found irregularities in this case, the prosecutor's office may be surprised. – The recognition of the contract by ZUS as an important title to insurance in practice crosses the actions of the prosecutor's office and attempts to assign the employment relationship to the signs of a crime – notes the legal advisor.
– It is worth noting that the amount of benefits seems high, but remember that the amount of benefits is associated with the amount of remuneration from the employment contract from which the contributions are paid. At high earnings, the amount of 340 thousand gold and paid benefits over a few years do not have to be assessed as an abuse of law. However, all this should check and control ZUS even before paying the allowance so that there is no abuse – comments Kamil Zawka.
The prosecutor's office in Zielona Góra did not provide journalists of “TOK FM” detailed information about the case, explaining the investigation of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Poznań. It currently determines what happened to the money of customers of the cinkciarz.pl currency exchange office. According to the last investigators' message, there are almost 2,400 people on the list of victims. The sum of their losses exceeds PLN 112 million.
The president of the currency exchange office and his wife are probably in the United States. At the end of July, a arrest warrant was issued behind him. Marcin P. in response to the questions of journalists denied the allegations of fictitious employment of Roxana K.-P. And he threatened to take legal steps “in the case of publication of false information.”
