Investigation Continues into Organized Crime Network
Authorities are pursuing ongoing investigations into a network suspected of organized crime and corruption, commonly referred to as OJOKK. A key individual connected to the operation has indicated that a review of taxes levied on additional locations within Skopje was conducted in collaboration with the Office for Financial Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The tax measures, according to OJOKK, stem from a sustained investigative action initiated over a year prior by the Office for the Prosecution and the Financial Police.
The Office of the Prosecutor has released further details regarding the scope of the investigation. The central focus of the inquiry involves allegations of financial irregularities. Specifically, former Football Federation of Macedonia (FFM) President Mu’aad Se’di was questioned in April of this year concerning the alleged misappropriation of approximately €700,000.
These funds were provided by the European Football Association (UEFA) for stadium construction in Ohrid. The ongoing police operation aims to gather evidence and build a case against those implicated in the suspected criminal network and related financial misconduct. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
