Marko Gašić, the current Mayor of Inđija, has been arrested alongside five other individuals in connection with a corruption investigation. The arrests were conducted by the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad, in cooperation with the Department for Combating Corruption of the Criminal Police Directorate.

Prosecutors allege that Gašić and Uroš Trifunović, the current director of the public enterprise 'Inđija put', abused their official positions between 2023 and 2025. They are suspected of facilitating public procurement processes for road marking and traffic signaling works where bidders were pre-arranged. The suspects allegedly concluded contracts that violated public procurement criteria and ordered payments totaling 26,961,059.30 dinars (approximately 230,000 euros) for works they knew were never performed.

Three other individuals, identified by the initials Đ. V., Đ. D., and D. M., are accused of aiding the crime by preparing and certifying false technical documentation. Additionally, T. J. is suspected of money laundering for holding funds paid out based on fictitious invoices for construction services, despite knowing the money originated from criminal activity. One suspect remains at large as authorities continue their search.
