Police officers have filed a criminal complaint with the Podgorica Basic State Prosecutor's Office against the Podgorica-based company KE, as well as its founder and executive director IK (45) on suspicion of evading taxes and contributions, which has damaged the budget by over 96 thousand euros.

The Police Directorate announced that the proceedings established that IK committed a criminal offense by, as the founder and executive director of the company KE, from November to March, without adequate business documentation, unfoundedly withdrawing money from the company's account, which he has opened with several commercial banks, in the amount of over 283 thousand euros. IK withdrew the money with the intention of avoiding the calculation and payment of tax liabilities of over 47 thousand euros.

"Also, during this year, the respondent did not file a monthly value added tax return, contrary to the provisions of the law, thereby evading tax in the amount of over 49 thousand euros," the statement states.

Officers of the Crime Prevention Sector continue their continuous activities to control the operations of companies, as well as to criminally prosecute all those who commit criminal offenses during the performance of economic activities, to the detriment of the budget and citizens.
