Two citizens from Kosovo were reportedly arrested in Skopje on suspicion of counterfeiting currency. According to reports, the police apprehended the two individuals, aged 30 and 44, on August 3, 2026. The arrests were made by officers from the Intervention Police Unit near the Skopje Police Station.
The two men were detained following an investigation into alleged currency counterfeiting, a crime specified under Article 268 of the Penal Code. During a search conducted on a ‘Golf’ vehicle in which they were traveling, law enforcement officers recovered a significant amount of money. The recovered funds included various currencies, such as euros, US dollars, and Swiss francs, totaling approximately 230,000 euros.
The police action took place in Skopje, leading to the detention of the Kosovo nationals. The discovery of the large sum of mixed-currency cash prompted the authorities to investigate the nature of the funds and the individuals’ connection to counterfeiting. The details of the arrests and the seizure of the currency were reported by local media outlets.
