Identity theft made a Polish man CEO of four German firms — he owes over 360,000 PLN in tax

A Polish man named Krzysztof reported the loss of his ID card years ago and froze his personal data, but criminals had already used his identity to register four companies in Germany. He received a demand from the Berlin tax office for over 360,000 PLN in unpaid taxes — that case was eventually dropped, but a new summons has since arrived. He has already spent a fortune on legal fees.
