Gawkowski assured that he had no objections to the work of the police or the prosecutor’s office. “However, I do not understand how an authorized service center could not check why there is a car with the same VIN number in another country (the brand’s home country)!? It could happen to anyone, it happened to me. I am publicizing the matter and I will not let it go. There will be lawsuits and claims,” he announced. He also admitted that he was aware that he might have to wait years for the finalization of this case.
The Minister of Digital Affairs wants to fight for changes in the law that would prevent such frauds from recurring in the future. “Before buying a car, every citizen should have the opportunity to confirm whether there is a clone of the car they want to buy running somewhere in the EU,” he wrote.
Gawkowski told an RMF FM reporter that he would apply for injured party status. Yesterday he received information about the proceedings conducted by the services.
It has a nationwide character. Many people were harmed. There was an organized group that dealt with this, the politician reported. This means that many people today have tears in their eyes. This is the fortune of a lifetime – for me and my wife, for sure – he added.
I feel cheated and robbed – emphasized the Minister of Digital Affairs in an interview with RMF FM.
Former director of the Criminal Bureau of the Police Headquarters, Inspector Marek Dyjasz, emphasizes in an interview with Piotr Salak on Radio RMF24 that buying a used car always involves risk.
Minister Gawkowski’s case was most likely that someone did not check it thoroughly or did not have access to all systems and confirmed the legality of the car – he noted.
He added that it is best to buy cars from authorized showrooms, where there is certainty as to the legality and technical condition of the car. However, due to the high costs, many people choose to buy used cars, which opens the door to fraud.
As he admitted, there are ways to verify used cars more precisely, including checking the VIN number on the website www.historiapojazdu.pl, which allows you to check information about the vehicle free of charge. Additionally, he recommends using the services of professional car inspection companies or directly verifying the vehicle at a police station.
