The overnight criminal investigation office in Gostivar has filed a criminal complaint against two individuals, identified as T.D. (55) and Z.D. (54), both nationals of Turkey.
The complaint centers on allegations of extortion against a 66-year-old resident of Gostivar and his 41-year-old son. According to the filing, the complainants allegedly subjected the couple to continuous threats and coercion spanning from 2019 to 2026. The primary focus of the complaint involves the alleged improper transfer of a substantial amount of manufactured gold.
The investigation suggests that the complainants forced the victims to relinquish 43.8 kilograms of gold, which was allegedly misrepresented to them as a toxic substance rather than legitimate, manufactured products, resulting in significant market harm. Furthermore, the complaint details a separate incident occurring in February 2025. It states that with the alleged sanction of a prosecutor and relatives, the complainants reportedly pressured the 66-year-old man into signing a pre-contract for immovable property.
Crucially, the complaint notes that the ownership rights for this property had not been legally vested in the victim. The Gostivar office’s action formalizes the allegations, bringing these matters into the scope of a criminal investigation. The case highlights serious claims regarding financial coercion, the handling of valuable gold assets, and questionable property transactions involving residents of Gostivar.
