Grand Pacific Trade Call Center Scam Newsletter No. 87

Dear Clients,

Following the decision to supplement the investigation in the Grand Pacific Trade case, one of the most common questions we have received is why this stage of the proceedings may take longer than expected.

In cases involving online investment fraud, a supplementary investigation often requires the competent authorities to obtain additional information from multiple sources. Depending on the circumstances of the particular case, this may include collecting documentation from financial institutions, conducting further reviews of specific transactions, or obtaining information from domestic or foreign authorities and other relevant entities.

Where a case has an international element, relevant information may be located in different jurisdictions or held by multiple financial service providers and other organizations. Obtaining such information frequently requires the use of formal legal procedures and international cooperation, which can significantly affect the duration of the investigation.

In addition, the authorities must review and assess the information collected in order to determine its relevance to the further course of the proceedings. In complex cases involving numerous victims and extensive documentation, the analysis of the available evidence may itself require considerable time.

For these reasons, a lengthy supplementary investigation should not necessarily be interpreted as an indication that no action is being taken. On the contrary, this stage often involves numerous investigative activities that are not visible to the public but may be essential for the next procedural steps in the case.

We will continue to monitor the progress of the Grand Pacific Trade case and keep you informed of any significant developments.

Kind regards,

Attorney Zoran Miljaković
