Authorities in Bijelo Polje have taken significant action against alleged economic crime, filing charges against three individuals connected with the forgery of documents. This development follows an intensified effort by the Regional Centre for Security “North” to combat all forms of economic crime in the region.
According to the Police Directorate, the accused include the legal entity S.B.D. d.o.o., its responsible representative D.K., and an individual identified as B.M.. They are suspected of having falsified tax and contribution certificates for the company S.B.D. d.o.o. in order to secure disability subsidies from the Montenegro Employment Agency’s Fund for Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities.
The police disclosed that the fraudulent documents were submitted as part of a request to obtain financial support for individuals with disabilities, highlighting the ongoing issues surrounding economic fraud in the region.
Commitment to Combat Economic Crime
Law enforcement officials have emphasized their commitment to tackling economic crime as part of a broader strategy to create a safer living and working environment for citizens. The police stated, “The suppression of economic crime, along with all other forms of criminal activity, will continue to be a focus for the officers of the Regional Centre for Security ‘North.’”
This incident underscores the critical need for vigilance in the fight against fraud, particularly as many individuals rely on such subsidies for support. The case reflects a growing concern regarding the integrity of financial assistance programs and the measures necessary to protect them from exploitation.
The police have not disclosed further details about the investigation or any potential penalties the accused may face if found guilty. As the case progresses, it will likely serve as a pivotal example of the ongoing efforts to uphold accountability within financial systems in Montenegro.
