Cybercrime Southeast Europe Newsletter No. 27
Dear Clients,
Recently, there have been no significant updates regarding the ongoing cyber fraud cases in the Western Balkans. We would like to share with you some key reasons why these cases often take longer than expected:
- Lack of Resources and Capacity: State authorities in the region often face limited technical and human resources required to investigate complex cyber frauds.
- Insufficient International Cooperation: Cybercrime often has an international dimension, and the lack of effective cooperation between countries can significantly slow down investigations and legal proceedings.
- Technical Complexity of Frauds: Fraudsters use advanced technologies and methods to conceal their activities, making evidence collection and analysis more challenging.
- Lengthy Evidence Collection Processes: Identifying suspects and gathering relevant evidence in cybercrime cases can take longer due to technical complexity and the need for international legal assistance.
- Lack of Specialized Personnel: Many countries in the Western Balkans lack experts in digital forensics and cybersecurity within the police and judiciary, further delaying procedures.
- Complex Legal Procedures: Due to uneven legal frameworks and varying jurisdictions, procedures often require additional time to align with applicable laws.
These challenges affect the duration of proceedings, but our team is continuously committed to resolving these cases efficiently. We actively work on finding the best opportunities to protect your rights and expedite proceedings through all available legal mechanisms.
We thank you for your trust and patience.
Sincerely,
Attorney Zoran Miljaković
