Man Arrested in Serbia for Abuse of Office, Allegedly Benefiting Company by 40 Million Dinars

Authorities in Serbia have arrested a 50-year-old man from Bajina Bašta on suspicion of abusing his position as a responsible person. The Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the suspect allegedly secured a benefit of around 40 million Serbian dinars for his company through fraudulent accounting practices.

Investigators suspect that the man, acting as the owner and legal representative of a company in Bajina Bašta, created false accounting documents between April and September 2025. These documents falsely indicated that goods had been delivered to a company in Arilje, which had already paid for them in advance. However, the goods were never actually supplied.

This alleged scheme resulted in a financial gain of 40,187,475 dinars for the suspect's company. The individual has been taken into custody and will be brought before the competent prosecutor's office along with a criminal complaint.
