River Sports has run out of money, the mayor has revealed the details.

The city-owned trading company 'Rijeka sport' fell victim to a computer fraud where funds were transferred to a fake IBAN. Mayor Iva Rinčić confirmed the incident but did not disclose the exact amount due to an ongoing investigation. The fraud involved a forged email with a changed bank account number sent to the company. Authorities have been informed, and part of the money has reportedly been recovered. Similar incidents have occurred elsewhere in Croatia, prompting additional precautions for municipal companies and officials.

Trgovačko društvo Rijeka sport, koje je u vlasništvu Grada Rijeke, materijalno je oštećena u računalnoj prevari prije nekoliko dana, potvrdila je to gradonačelnica Iva Rinčić, ali nije otkrila o kojem se iznosu radi jer traje istraga.

"Riječ je o prevari u kojoj je na službenom memorandumu tvrtke s kojom Rijeka sport surađuje, poslanom elektroničkom poštom, s potpisom i pečatom, poslan dopis o izmjeni IBAN-a tvrtke, s uputom da se uplata prema društvu izvrši na novi IBAN", pojasnila je Rinčić.

Nije poznato o kojoj je tvrtki riječ, no Rijeka sport je uplatio novac na navedeni broj računa, prenosi Novi list.

Gradonačelnica je dodala da nije riječ o klasičnoj računalnoj prevari jer su one često puno perfidnije.

Drugi slučaj u par dana

No, uvjerava da je značajni dio novca vraćen i da je o svemu obaviještena policija.

Kako se ovako što ne bi ponovilo, trgovačka i komunalna društva te pročelnici odjela gradske uprave dobili su upute o dodatnoj pažnji jer su se slične situacije već događale u drugim dijelovima Hrvatske.

Gradonačelnica Rijeke ističe da nije riječ o iznosu koji bi ugrozio poslovanje Rijeka sporta, zaduženog za upravljanje, održavanje i izgradnju sportskih i drugih objekata.

Inače, na meti prevare se našla i Požeško-slavonska županija , koja je prije nekoliko dana objavila da su ostali bez nekoliko tisuća eura nakon što je nepoznati počinitelj naveo županijske službenike preko e-maila da izvrše transakciju.

"Nepoznata osoba je prijevarom putem elektroničke pošte navela službenike Požeško-slavonske županije na izvršenje novčane transakcije. Odmah po otkrivanju nepravilnosti, u petak 12. lipnja 2026. godine, podnesena je kaznena prijava Policijskoj upravi požeško-slavonskoj", objavili su iz Županije.

Policija je pak izvijestila da traži prevaranta koji je oštetio županiju.
