The suspected police officers allegedly received over PLN 50,000 (EUR 12,000, USD 14,400) in total for informing recovery firms about when and where crashes had occurred, Polish Radio’s IAR news agency reported.
Łukasz Łapczyński, a spokesman for the Warsaw District Prosecutor's Office, said that the suspects provided information from 2011 to April 2017, when they were detained.
The IAR news agency did not specify how many police officers are being investigated in the case.
