Shady Banker On Trial
A trial has got underway in Poznan in the mid west of Poland of Piotr B. (name withheld) who is accused of having caused the bankruptcy of Bank Staropolski.
The banker, who miraculously survived a suicide attempt inside a court building in 2000, is believed to have masterminded a series of elaborate financial schemes that bankrupted tens of thousands of ordinary Polish citizens who deposited money and bought shares in his operations.
