The Central Prosecutors' Office for Economic Crimes and Corruption confirmed the indictment on Friday, charging Benko with aggravated fraud and insolvency-related crimes. Investigators assert that Benko misled an investor and representatives of a family trust by providing a fraudulent guarantee. This deception allegedly caused the trust to suffer damages totaling approximately €5 million.
This legal development marks a significant escalation in the fallout surrounding the collapse of Signa, once a titan of the European real estate market. The prosecutors' office continues to scrutinize the financial dealings that underpinned the group's rapid expansion and subsequent insolvency, signaling a deepening investigation into the conduct of its leadership.
