Police officers filed two criminal charges against the companies WCC and AMC and their executive directors, FM (51) and Turkish citizen SS, on suspicion of evading taxes and contributions, thereby damaging the budget by 22,98 thousand euros.

"In the process leading up to the filing of criminal charges, the Department's officers determined that SS and FM, as suspected, as executive directors of the companies WCC and AMC, committed qualified criminal offenses by concealing their actual income from 2020 until last year and failing to submit accurate and truthful data on their income when reporting to the Tax Administration," the statement said.

It is added that SS also made undocumented cash withdrawals, with the intention of fully or partially avoiding the payment of taxes and contributions, which is suspected of damaging the Montenegrin budget in the stated amount.

The criminal charges were filed by officers of the Crime Prevention Sector - Department for Suppression of Complex Forms of Economic Crime, Conducting Financial Investigations, Combating Corruption and Environmental Crime, in cooperation with officers of the Financial Intelligence Sector and the Tax Administration, and in coordination with the basic public prosecutor's offices in Kotor and Ulcinj.

"Through strong inter-institutional cooperation and coordinated activities with competent authorities, decisive measures are being taken to protect the economic interests of citizens and preserve the budget of Montenegro," the Police Directorate said.

Operation Evasion represents a decisive and systemic response by the state to tax and financial fraud, with the clear goal of strengthening accountability, legality, and financial discipline in all segments of the economy.
