Former Football Federation of Macedonia Official Detained Following Fraud Investigation
A court has ordered pre-trial detention for Ilcho Georgiovski, the former president of the Football Federation of Macedonia (FFM), following an investigation into alleged fraud involving approximately two million euros. The detention order was issued on June 19, 2026. The decision comes as a result of a prosecution request by the Organized Crime Investigation Office (OJKK).
Georgiovski, along with two other individuals, has been placed in pre-trial detention, while five others have been ordered to remain under house arrest. The court, acting on a recommendation from OJKK, assessed the case following testimony provided in the presence of legal defense counsel. The rulings determined that pre-trial detention would be imposed on Ilcho Georgiovski, Oliver Makarovski, and Gjorge Cekov.
The investigation centers around allegations of financial mismanagement. Details regarding specific assets removed or related to the case are currently under review. The investigation is ongoing, and further legal proceedings are anticipated.
