Hunting Association Officials Arrested in Financial Misconduct Case
Allegations of misappropriation involving significant funds linked to operational management.
The president and secretary of a local hunting association have been arrested on allegations of financial misconduct involving misappropriation of funds intended for organizational operations.
The investigation implicates S. M., authorized representative of the Hunting Association 'Golub,' and M. B., the manager of the hunting grounds 'Rit.'
Between January 2022 and December 2023, S. M. is accused of facilitating access to the electronic payment system of the association's accounts, allowing M. B. to transfer a total of 1,101,430 dinars to his personal account.
Investigators have stated that S. M. failed to ensure the payment of a lease for the Hunting House in Veliko Gradište, amounting to 239,500 dinars, violating a signed lease agreement by not taking appropriate actions to secure the collection of this debt.
Additionally, it is claimed that S. M. violated the terms of employment under which M. B., while serving as manager of the 'Ramski rit' hunting ground, received unauthorized salary increases totaling 314,000 dinars.
Furthermore, funds amounting to 600,000 dinars, allocated by the Municipal Council of Veliko Gradište for pest control and animal feed, are alleged to have been misused by S. M. to cover M. B.'s inflated salary and for other payments unrelated to their designated purpose.
The officials also reportedly fabricated financial reports on the utilization of the funds, submitting them to the municipality in an attempt to justify the expenditure according to its intended use.
As a result of these actions, S. M. and M. B. are believed to have caused financial damage to the Hunting Association totaling 1,654,930 dinars, while the Veliko Gradište municipal budget suffered a loss of 600,000 dinars.
Following the completion of the investigation, both individuals have been referred to the competent prosecutor's office for further proceedings.
