Polish prosecutors charged against a former deputy finance minister with neglect of duty in a tax-fraud case that resulted in 3 billion zloty ($792 million) losses for the state treasury.

Maciej G., a deputy finance minister from 2008 to 2013, faces up to 10 years in prison for negligence in his oversight over rules that allowed businesses to receive illegal returns of value-added tax, including steel products and mobile phones, the state prosecutors’ office said Tuesday. It didn’t disclose the full identity of the charged person, in line with Polish law.
