A Turkish national, identified as DS (27), the founder and CEO of a Podgorica-based company, has been detained on allegations of tax evasion exceeding 81,000 euros.

Authorities from the Police Crime Sector’s Department for Combating Corruption, Economic Crime, and Financial Investigations collaborated with the Tax Administration and coordinated with the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica to file a criminal complaint against the entity “S.” and DS as the responsible individual.

They are charged with the crime of tax and contribution evasion, resulting in a loss to the state totaling 81,784.42 euros.

“In the investigation prior to the filing of the criminal report, it was established that DS, acting for and on behalf of the company ‘S.’ doo Podgorica, in his role as founder and executive director, committed a serious criminal act. Continuously during 2023, 2024, and 2025, he issued invoices amounting to 471,233.92 euros without submitting the mandatory monthly VAT returns to the Tax Administration of Montenegro. Consequently, he failed to declare or calculate his VAT obligations, violating Article 35, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Law on Value Added Tax.
