Balkan tax evasion prosecutions

Entities: T. D. · Financial Police Directorate · Public Prosecutor's Office of Gjevgjelia · Republic of North Macedonia

Overview

In early July 2026, a Turkish citizen was alleged to have evaded €55,000 in taxes, a case reported to have harmed Montenegro's public finances. Later in the month, North Macedonian authorities filed criminal charges against a company owner accused of avoiding tax on waste‑management fees for imported textiles, amounting to 3,852,067 denar. The Macedonian investigation detailed that the suspect attempted to conceal the evasion by liquidating the company shortly after the alleged offense, resulting in a comparable loss to the national budget. Together, the two reports illustrate a pattern of recent tax‑evasion investigations affecting Balkan states and their fiscal stability.
