The Criminal Investigation Department of the Maribor Police Department conducted extensive operations on Tuesday, June 30th, involving house, personal, and vehicle searches throughout the Slovenska Bistrica area. The investigation focused on two individuals, aged 46 and 34, who are currently suspected of committing the crime of extortion. According to reports issued by the Maribor Police Department, the suspects are alleged to have systematically collected funds from the victim beginning in Autumn 2024, resulting in an unlawful accumulation of financial assets.
The sequence of events indicates that the victim initially borrowed a sum of 50,000 euros from the pair. Subsequently, the suspects reportedly coerced the victim into signing multiple purchase contracts for various machinery belonging to his company, while simultaneously imposing exorbitant interest rates. These actions, authorities stated, caused significant financial detriment to the victim.
The comprehensive investigation undertaken by the police department aims to fully ascertain the extent of the financial damage incurred. The police department continues its efforts to build a case against the suspects, ensuring that all legal procedures are followed in relation to the alleged fraudulent activities. The investigation underscores the ongoing efforts of the local police force to combat financial crimes within the region.
