Belgrade,
28 November 2006
The Serbian Ministry of Interior has stated that after months of investigation early this morning police arrested 17 persons on charges of bribery, abuse of office and organised smuggling of goods.
Confiscated goods
According to the statement, those arrested had formed a criminal group which on several occasions engaged in bribery, abuse of office and organised smuggling of goods.
They used false documents to prove that goods were in transit in the Republic of Serbia which were later transferred to illegal warehouses throughout the country and smuggled to various legal and physical persons on the territory of the Republic of Serbia without payment of taxes, and thus defrauded the Serbian budget by several million Euros.
Police are continuing investigation in this case, reads the statement.
