I mean folks talking interpol and such here for what seems to be a simple personal dispute no one really cares about. (unless of course, the guy in question is the next cz binance or so or its a murder case or tax thing or so).
Yes, what is it actually about? In many places in Europe it is very unlikely to get a sentence that is not on probation.
good question and point, the info what its actually about is paramount to the issue.
I cannot even get the search to work here
these two cases are nationals of some hole wanted by their own country. Given the places involved, it can easily be due to having p** off one of the ruling clans with his investment fraud (maledive case) and the CAR one can be due to whatever (pedophilia).
ah thats the usual thing, which I already hinted in a former post. Just a dispute of 2 guys (which goes with a lot of barking). The dude should have made it to 5-10M 😉 not just 1. But anyhow.
No, it is a criminal case. It is normal under those circumstances, that you first open a criminal case with the civil case attached to it. After 5 rounds with the prosecutor, the case will be closed and the Polish guy has the option to continue the civil case. But he probably won't to this as it is costly and you need to do all work yourself. A criminal case is very easy to get somebody to pay in order to have it closed.
Nothing happens. I already wrote this earlier. He would have to appoint a lawyer in Switzerland to start the Betreibung locally. And then, he would just file bankruptcy and the case is over.
well yes, very possible they can get his money in Switzerland due to the lugano convention with a final judgement from poland. But there are ways to mitigate the severeness of the outcome in case hes really due for 1M.
Id assume the dude went to police and said his business partner stole his money or embezzled it or smth along that line.
You just go to the police or the send a letter to the prosecutor and claim he committed "fraud." What I wonder here is more what is actually the case and why the Swedish already paid a lot to lawyers. Because normally such cases are closed fairly quickly after about 3 rounds with the prosecutor. Hence, it would be interesting to know if there are any substantiated criminal claims.
Yes, he can only get, what there is. It is costly and will delay all. And in the mean time, he can then still shift the money and move elsewhere. If there are only civil claims, he is quite free to move and the possibilities of collection are limited outside the Europe. Imaging him trying to collect in Peru and by the time anything happens, he is already in Paraguay while the money sits in a safety deposit box or a customs bonded warehouse in Geneva? The experience shows that nothing happens in the court in the first case. Maybe 50k if he is lucky while the lawyers cost 80k on both sides.
