Five suspects were questioned at the Special Department for Suppression of Corruption of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office (VJT) in Belgrade in connection to the Aman case.
They are believed to have, in the period from December 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023, siphoning of money in the amount of about 2 billion dinars (about 17 million euros) from the company Aman via phantom companies, who then either took the money abroad, invested in illegal construction or bought real estate, in order to conceal the illegal origin of the property.
During the questioning, the suspects denied committing the crimes they were charged with.
These were the owners of the said phantom companies Miroslav B., Rajka B., Nemanja B., Jovan A., and accountant Miodrag S.
After the questioning, the prosecution proposed to the judge for preliminary proceedings of the Higher Court in Belgrade to remand the suspects in custody so that they would not influence witnesses or repeat the criminal acts in a short period of time.
The order to conduct the investigation covers a total of 11 suspects, five of whom are already in custody, detention was proposed for five today, while criminal charges will be filed against one suspect in regular procedure.
The suspects are charged with money laundering and tax fraud related to VAT.
The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade took over further proceedings in the case against five defendants, which is conducted before the Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office.
They are accused of the criminal offense of building without a permit. This came out in addition to the findings related to money laundering, which is the jurisdiction of the VJT.
Another case, from the Second Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, was also taken over, related tax crimes.
The Third Basic Court in Belgrade decided to keep in custody PD Aman company representative Nemanja P., Miroslav B., legal representatives of PD Aman Real Estate Mile V. and Kxalil S., as well as two fake investors in the construction of an illegal building, Slobodan M. and Mladen N.
It is believed that the suspects, through a network of phantom companies, extracted money from PD Aman via false invoices, which they then withdrew from the accounts of the phantom companies and further transferred abroad, to China.
A part of the money, it is suspected, was invested in the construction of a 40,000 square meter building in Surcin, Belgrade, as well as in the purchase of several high-value properties.
