The Financial Police of North Macedonia, in coordination with the Public Prosecutor's Office for Prosecuting Organized Crime and Corruption, conducted a series of raids today at private homes, business facilities, and other locations across the country.
The operation was carried out under a court order as part of an ongoing preliminary investigation into allegations of financial crime and corruption. According to the Financial Police, there are strong suspicions that public officials and other private individuals abused their positions, influence, and reputations to secure substantial illegal financial gains.
During the operation, several individuals were detained. While investigations remain active, the Prosecutor's Office has declined to confirm the identities of those apprehended, stating only that the operation is focused on suspected corrupt criminal activities.
Unofficial media reports have suggested that Stefan Bogoev, the former director of the Customs Administration, may be among those targeted, noting that a search was allegedly conducted at his residence. However, official authorities have not confirmed these reports, emphasizing that further details cannot be released at this stage to avoid compromising the ongoing investigative process.
