Ilin is accused of exporting previously imported sugar, falsely labeled as a domestic product, in the period January-April 2002.
Due to the existence of EU's preferential rates, export of this sugar to countries of the European Union was possible only by forging documents. Following a revision of MK Komerc's documentation and additional check-ups, it was concluded that this company falsely labeled 1,501 tonnes of sugar as a domestic product, and thus gained a profit of 5.7 million dinars.
In the past two months, the Directorate for Fighting Organised Crime of the Serbian Ministry of Interior (MUP) has been intensively checking the information obtained from the European Commission concerning Serbia's export of previously imported sugar to the countries of the European Union, read a statement by MUP. The investigation is ongoing.
