The state continues its fight against corruption. Now the assistant of the mayor of Bor and the investor of the building near Manjež have been arrested. Judging by the actions so far, the state leadership is clean as a tear

Where did the attempts of the state led by Aleksandar Vučić stop to convince the citizens that fights corruption – it is being extended today.

Although 153 people were arrested in February, as part of the "fight against corruption", it turns out that they are charged with a total of slightly more than twenty million euros, which in progressive Serbia can only be very small fish. "Time" was written.

The list of those arrested now includes the assistant to the mayor of Bor VV, who was arrested on suspicion of damaging the budget of the City Administration for 839.550 dinars, as well as the owner of the company "Global park doo", on suspicion of fraud with the purchase and sale of luxury apartments in the center of Belgrade and money laundering.

Arrest in Bor for interest

The assistant to the mayor of Bor is suspected that, as a person in charge of the City Administration for monitoring the implementation of the public procurement of waste containers, the estimated value of which is 40 million dinars, during the year 2024, he made a Record of the handover of goods to the customer with "false contents".

In this way, VV, as it is suspected, confirmed that the supplier "Eastern office" from Majdanpek delivered the containers in accordance with the concluded contract with a delay of 28 days. For that period, default interest was calculated and the reduction of the invoice according to which the City Administration made the payment, even though the ordered containers were delivered with a delay of a total of 49 days, all with the intention of obtaining a benefit for the aforementioned company from Majdanpek.

As it is suspected, VV damaged the budget of the City Administration of Bor by 839.550 dinars, which is the sum of the uncalculated contractual default interest for another 21 days of delay, for which the invoice should have been reduced. The suspect was detained for up to 48 hours and he will be brought to the competent prosecutor's office with a criminal complaint, the MUP announced.

They took 20.000 euros for apartments, kept the money

The investor of the building near Manjež and the representative of this company were arrested in the continuation of the anti-corruption action on suspicion that in the period from March 2022 to the end of 2024, they caused damage to the company whose interests they represent for their own benefit. After that, they concealed the illegal origin of the property, added the High Public Prosecutor's Office.

They concluded contracts with buyers with false content, in which they stated lower real estate prices compared to the prices they had verbally agreed with the buyers.

Based on oral agreements, the customers handed him cash in the total amount of 20.000 euros, in which way the suspects obtained an illegal financial benefit.

It is suspected that they kept the money thus obtained for themselves, knowing that the money came from criminal activity.

According to the order of the Prosecutor's Office, they were detained for up to 48 hours, during which time they will be brought in for questioning.

It is not stated whether the investigation is also being conducted against those who bought apartments on the basis of "criminal activity".
