The Financial Police Directorate has filed criminal charges with the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Gevgelija against the manager and owner of a legal entity, as well as against the legal entity itself, on suspicion of tax evasion.

The case relates to the 2024–2025 period, when the legally mandated fee for waste from imported textiles was allegedly neither declared nor paid. The unpaid amount totals 3,852,067 denars, causing damage to the state budget.

According to the Directorate, the first reported person, T.D., acting as the manager of the second reported legal entity, knowingly and with prior intent sought to secure unlawful financial gain for himself and the legal entity. During 2024–2025, in violation of Articles 23 and 54 of the Law on the Management of Additional Waste Streams, he neither declared nor paid to the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning of the Republic of North Macedonia the waste fee related to textiles imported by the second reported legal entity, totaling 3,852,067 denars.

The Directorate stated that, in order to conceal the failure to declare and pay this legal obligation, on April 17, 2026, the first reported person initiated proceedings with the Central Registry of the Republic of North Macedonia to liquidate the second reported legal entity.

The institution added that the actions described caused total damage of 3,852,067 denars to the Budget of the Republic of North Macedonia.

The Financial Police Directorate has filed a criminal complaint with the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Struga against an individual who owns and manages a legal entity, as well as against the legal entity itself. They are suspected of the criminal offense of “Tax Evasion,” stipulated under Article 279 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of North Macedonia.

S.Z., the first defendant, is suspected of knowingly acting, in his capacity as the owner and manager of the legal entity named as the second defendant, with the premeditated intention of obtaining unlawful financial gain for himself and the legal entity. On December 31, 2025, he unlawfully appropriated purchased commercial goods recorded as inventory belonging to the legal entity, with a total value of 26,085,138 denars.

Value-added tax was not calculated, declared or paid on these goods. This involved VAT amounting to 4,231,907 denars at a tax rate of 18%, as well as 128,727 denars in VAT at a rate of 5%. In addition, personal income tax amounting to 2,898,059 denars, at a tax rate of 11.11%, was not calculated, reported or paid.

According to the complaint, S.Z. also failed to record as income time-barred and outstanding liabilities totaling 8,120,980 denars, which were reflected in the gross balance sheet for 2025. Under Article 363 of the Law on Obligations, these liabilities become time-barred after three years, and no court proceedings have been initiated to recover them.

Although he was required to submit the tax balance sheet for 2025 and report the corresponding liability, the first defendant failed to submit the document altogether. Consequently, he also failed to calculate, declare and pay profit tax amounting to 812,098 denars, calculated at a tax rate of 10%.

Through these actions, the defendants are suspected of evading the calculation, declaration and payment of tax liabilities prescribed by law, causing total damage of 8,070,791 denars to the Budget of the Republic of North Macedonia./Telegrafi/

The Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Tetovo has received a criminal complaint from the Financial Police, accusing an employee of the University of Tetova of abuse of office and document forgery.

According to authorities, the defendant A.Z., employed as a senior associate for logistics and fieldwork, is suspected of having misappropriated, between March 2020 and February 2023, money entrusted to him by students for tuition fees, co-financing, and other study expenses.

Instead of depositing these funds into the university’s bank account via the E-pay platform, he is accused of pocketing them, illegally obtaining approximately 3,362,272 denars. According to the complaint, this same amount has caused financial damage to the University of Tetova.

To cover his tracks, he is suspected of preparing forged payment receipts, which he handed to students as proof that payment had been made.

Investigations have revealed that to forge the documents, he took the data and QR code from a genuine E-pay payment receipt and then altered the payer’s name, amount, and date. Believing in the authenticity of the documents, students uploaded them to the university’s electronic system and submitted them to the student service.

According to the statement, those charged are B.G. and G.F. in their capacity as supervising engineers, while E.N., M.G. and N.M. are named as owners and managers of the two legal entities, together with the legal entities themselves. They are charged with the criminal offenses of “Abuse of official position and authority” under Article 353 of the Criminal Code of North Macedonia, “Forgery or destruction of business books” under Article 280, “Fraud to the detriment of European Union funds – attempted” under Article 249-a, and “Use of a document with false content” under Article 380 of the Criminal Code.

The Financial Police emphasize that the reported persons, in their role as supervising engineers, acted contrary to legal provisions by exceeding their official powers. They carried out technical inspections of the buildings and prepared final reports with false content, contrary to Article 33 and Article 90, paragraph 3 of the Construction Law.

Through these actions, the legal entities were enabled to register unfinished buildings with the Agency for Real Estate Cadastre and secure unlawful financial gain.

Likewise, the owners and managers of the legal entities, although aware that the buildings had not been completed and did not meet the legal conditions for being put into use, used the final reports containing false content as the basis for their registration in the public records of the Agency for Real Estate Cadastre.

According to the criminal complaint, the aim was to create a false impression that the conditions for use had been met, in order to enable the payment of financial support approved under the Rural Development Programme within the European Union’s Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA 3 – IPARD 2021–2027), by attempting to unlawfully obtain a total of 50,141,528 denars.
