Allied Capital Trade Newsletter No. 136

Poštovani klijenti,

Jedno od čestih pitanja u vezi sa predmetima poput Allied Capital Trade odnosi se na mogućnost „praćenja novca“ i očekivanje da se na osnovu toga brzo identifikuju odgovorna lica i izvrši povraćaj sredstava.

U tom smislu, važno je ukazati da samo postojanje traga o kretanju novca ne znači istovremeno i postojanje dokaza koji su dovoljni za vođenje sudskog postupka protiv konkretnih lica.

Naime, u praksi se često može utvrditi da su sredstva prošla kroz određene račune, kripto novčanike ili platne procesore, međutim ti podaci sami po sebi ne ukazuju nužno na identitet stvarnih korisnika tih naloga. Vrlo često se radi o posredničkim računima, računima otvorenim na tuđa imena ili u jurisdikcijama koje ne omogućavaju lako pribavljanje podataka.

Sa aspekta sudskog postupka, od ključnog značaja je da se, pored samog toka novca, obezbede i dokazi koji povezuju konkretno fizičko ili pravno lice sa spornim transakcijama. To podrazumeva pribavljanje podataka od banaka, kripto-menjačnica i drugih institucija, najčešće putem međunarodne pravne pomoći i naloga nadležnih organa.

Upravo iz tog razloga, postupak identifikacije odgovornih lica i eventualnog pokretanja sudskih postupaka zahteva vreme i odvija se kroz više faza. Praćenje novca predstavlja važan početni korak, ali tek u kombinaciji sa drugim dokazima može dovesti do procesno upotrebljivih saznanja.

Razumevanje ovih faza važno je kako bi se realno sagledale mogućnosti daljeg postupanja, kao i razlozi zbog kojih određene radnje ne mogu biti preduzete odmah, već tek nakon prikupljanja odgovarajuće dokazne građe.

O svim daljim relevantnim informacijama bićete blagovremeno obavešteni.

S poštovanjem,

Dear Clients,

One of the common questions in cases such as Allied Capital Trade relates to the possibility of “tracing funds” and the expectation that this would quickly lead to identifying responsible parties and recovering the assets.

In this regard, it is important to emphasize that the mere existence of a trace of money flow does not simultaneously constitute sufficient evidence to initiate and conduct court proceedings against specific individuals.

In practice, it is often possible to determine that funds have passed through certain accounts, crypto wallets, or payment processors; however, such data alone does not necessarily reveal the true identity of the individuals behind those accounts. Frequently, these involve intermediary accounts, accounts opened under third-party names, or accounts in jurisdictions where obtaining relevant information is more complex.

From the perspective of court proceedings, it is crucial not only to establish the flow of funds but also to secure evidence linking specific natural or legal persons to the disputed transactions. This typically requires obtaining data from banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, and other institutions, often through international legal assistance and orders issued by competent authorities.

For this reason, the process of identifying responsible parties and potentially initiating court proceedings takes time and unfolds in several stages. Tracing funds represents an important initial step, but only in combination with other evidence can it lead to information that is legally admissible and usable in court.

Understanding these phases is important in order to realistically assess the possibilities of further legal action, as well as the reasons why certain steps cannot be taken immediately, but only after sufficient evidence has been collected.

We will keep you duly informed of any further relevant developments.

Kind regards,
Attorney Zoran Miljaković
