According to a statement, in the period from June 2024 until today, the group was using forged documents to acquire and then attempt to sell 14 high-class vehicles, whose total value is around 670,000 euros.

How the scam worked

There are grounds for suspicion that the organized crime group systematically operated abroad:

13 vehicles were acquired in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.

One vehicle was acquired in the territory of the Swiss Confederation.

Using false documents and other illegal means, the vehicles were transported to the Republic of Serbia, where they were offered for sale to interested buyers. The group is charged with criminal offenses of fraud and concealment.

The arrest operation was carried out by Serbia's Directorate of Criminal Police (UKP) - Service for Combating Organized Crime (SBOK) and the Department for Suppression of Organized General Crime.

The suspect's initials are: D.M., M.K., I.M. and S.B.

These persons will be questioned at the Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (JTOK) where they will be brought along with a criminal complaint.
