Poland’s Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA) said the arrest was carried out with the assistance of Interpol and Dominican police.
The suspect is believed to have been a member of an organised criminal group involved in fiscal fraud, money laundering and tax evasion, public broadcaster Polish Radio's IAR news agency reported.
Authorities said the man had been hiding in the Caribbean country for about a year and was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice, which alerts law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest wanted individuals.
Polish officials described the apprehension as significant because Poland does not have an extradition treaty with the Dominican Republic.
In a statement, the CBA said the suspect’s deportation would demonstrate that the Dominican Republic "is no longer a safe haven for criminals who believe the absence of international agreements will allow them to evade justice."
