Allied Capital Trade Newsletter No. 120

Poštovani klijenti,

Iako još uvek nemamo novih zvaničnih informacija, smatramo važnim da vam približimo kako u praksi izgleda jedan od ključnih delova svake finansijske istrage – postupak otkrivanja i eventualne zaplene imovine osumnjičenih.

U ovakvim predmetima, cilj nadležnih organa nije samo utvrđivanje odgovornosti počinilaca, već i pronalaženje tragova novca i druge imovine koja može biti korišćena za kasniji povraćaj sredstava oštećenima. Posebno u međunarodnim istragama, novac često prolazi kroz više zemalja, banaka i posredničkih računa pre nego što se izgubi trag, što dodatno komplikuje proces.

Kada postoji sumnja da je imovina pribavljena protivpravno, nadležni organi mogu privremeno blokirati ili zapleniti sredstva i druge vrednosti – sve dok sud ne donese konačnu odluku. U toj fazi, međunarodna saradnja putem razmene finansijskih informacija i pravnih zahteva je ključna za uspešno praćenje i eventualni povraćaj sredstava.

Iako trenutno nemamo potvrdu da je u ovom predmetu došlo do konkretnih zaplena, važno je znati da su takve aktivnosti standardna praksa i da se sprovode diskretno kako ne bi ugrozile istragu. Naš tim i dalje prati sve dostupne informacije i ostaje u kontaktu sa relevantnim institucijama kako bismo mogli blagovremeno reagovati kada dođe do faze raspolaganja zaplenjenom imovinom.

Hvala vam na poverenju i strpljenju.

S poštovanjem,
Advokat Zoran Miljaković

Dear Clients,

Although there are still no new official updates this week, we consider it important to provide you with an overview of one of the key aspects of any financial investigation – the process of identifying and, when applicable, seizing assets of the suspects.

In cases of this nature, the authorities’ goal is not only to establish the responsibility of the perpetrators but also to trace funds and other assets that could be used for the eventual recovery of funds for the victims. Especially in international investigations, money often moves through multiple countries, banks, and intermediary accounts before a trace is lost, which makes the process more complex.

When there is suspicion that assets have been obtained unlawfully, competent authorities may temporarily freeze or seize funds and other valuables until a court issues a final decision. At this stage, international cooperation through the exchange of financial information and legal requests is crucial to successfully track assets and enable eventual restitution.

While we currently have no confirmation of any concrete asset seizures in this case, it is important to understand that such measures are standard practice and are carried out discreetly to avoid compromising the investigation. Our team continues to monitor all available information and remains in contact with relevant institutions to ensure timely action when the stage of asset disposition arises.

Thank you for your trust and patience.

Kind regards,
Attorney Zoran Miljaković
