They've been cheating with waste packaging for years.
Eight individuals have been accused of falsifying data regarding collected waste packaging over several years, defrauding the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund of approximately one million euros and causing damages of around 1.2 million euros. The indictment was filed with the Bjelovar County Court and primarily targets a man born in 1980, who was responsible at a company in the Virovitica area. The accused allegedly used their positions of responsibility within companies and trades to exploit the fund between 2019 and mid-2024 by submitting false documents and entering incorrect data into systems. One of the accused is also charged with money laundering, having deposited around 150,000 euros into his account, which he then wagered in betting shops, making profits of about 260,000 euros. The other three accused are also implicated in hiding illegally acquired funds through property purchases and financing the purchase of an apartment, where the youngest individual in the group, born in 1998, was listed as the buyer. The prosecution has proposed that the illegally obtained assets be confiscated.
