State Lottery former finance director arrested in North Macedonia
The Financial Police Directorate and the Prosecutor's Office have detained the former finance director of the State Lottery and one other individual in North Macedonia. The arrests are part of an investigation into the suspected misappropriation of approximately 80 million denars.
This action is linked to the period when the State Lottery was managed by former director Perparim Bajrami. This investigation follows a separate ongoing legal case involving Bajrami and former First Deputy Prime Minister Artan Grubi. In that instance, prosecutors allege that several individuals exceeded their official authority between 2023 and 2024, causing approximately 596 million denars in damages related to the procurement of video lottery terminals and electronic gambling transactions.
