They were weighing the value of the property.

A court in Białystok has considered a complaint by prosecutors against two appraisers accused of overvaluing property for the purpose of securing higher loans. The case involves four appraisal reports where the appraisers provided inaccurate market values for properties in Ełka and Bobrowniki. In one instance, an appraiser valued a plot of land in Ełka at over 2.8 million zł in 2011, while the actual market value was around 1.7 million zł. In another report from 2013, the value was estimated at 3.1 million zł, but the true market value was approximately 1.8 million zł. Similarly, a 39-hectare plot in Bobrowniki was overvalued at nearly 4.3 million zł in 2011, despite being located in a protected landscape area with no registered mineral deposits. The court heard evidence including expert opinions, documents, witness statements, and property inspections. Prosecutors sought penalties including suspended prison terms, fines, and professional bans, while defense attorneys requested acquittals.
