The Public Prosecutor’s Office for the Criminal Prosecution of Organized Crime and Corruption has initiated legal proceedings in the Basic Criminal Court of Skopje. The charges filed involve the criminal act of “Causing the Failure of the Bank” against three individuals, alongside separate charges for “Negligent Performance of Duty” against one person, according to the Prosecutor’s Office. The indictment details that the three defendants are accused of violating established regulations.
Specifically, the first defendant, holding the roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors and a member of the Credit Board, is implicated. The second defendant is charged in his capacity as Chairman of the Credit Board. The third defendant is accused of violations stemming from his roles as Chairman of the Risk Management Committee and a member of the Board of Directors.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office alleges that these actions constituted a breach of both the Law on Banks and the bank’s internal operational guidelines. The period covered by these alleged violations spans from 2013 through the second half of 2019. The filing of these charges marks a formal legal action concerning corporate governance and financial oversight within the banking sector.
The court is now set to hear the case regarding the alleged mismanagement and failure to adhere to mandated banking protocols.
