A joint operation involving the Prosecutor’s Office, the Anti-Money Laundering Unit (MPB), and the Financial Police was conducted against a total of 18 natural persons and 8 legal entities. According to reports, the operation resulted in the arrest of 12 individuals, while five others remain at large. The investigation, which followed preliminary procedures by the Investigative Center attached to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Corruption, was executed under the direction of public prosecutors and involved coordination from the Ministry of Interior and the Financial Police.
The focus of the inquiry centers on allegations of embezzlement and money laundering connected to the Football Federation of Macedonia (FFM). Authorities suspect that the FFM has sustained damages exceeding 180 million denars. Notably, two former presidents of the FFM, along with several other individuals, are currently suspected of involvement in these financial irregularities.
The coordinated action aimed to investigate potential misuse of funds and illicit financial activities within the sports federation structure. The operation underscores a significant law enforcement effort targeting corruption and financial misconduct within major organizations. Authorities continue to build their case regarding the scope and nature of the alleged misappropriation of funds.
