Igman d.d. Konjic loses €780,000 in business‑email compromise

Igman d.d. Konjic business email compromise €780,000 fraud Netherlands United Arab Emirates

On 24 July 2026 the Bosnian company Igman d.d. Konjic was defrauded of about €780,000 after fraudsters sent a fake e‑mail that closely mimicked the address of the firm’s Turkish business partner. Employees, believing the request genuine, transferred the funds to accounts supplied by the attackers.

Roughly €600,000 was moved to a Dutch bank account that has since been blocked, while about €180,000 was sent to several accounts in the United Arab Emirates. The Ministry of Interior of the Herzegovina‑Neretva Canton confirmed receipt of the report on the same day, and the Criminal Police Department of the Police Directorate of the canton, supervised by the Cantonal Prosecutor’s Office in Mostar, launched an investigation. Igman d.d. Konjic says the incident does not affect its business continuity and that a large part of the stolen money has been located and frozen while recovery efforts continue.
