Transparency International Macedonia continues to carry out its regular monthly activities for monitoring cases and activities related to corrupt behavior and the fight against corruption, which we\u2019ve named \u201cLight & Dark\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The monitoring of these cases has received significant attention, both in the public sphere and among domestic and foreign relevant stakeholders, and over time, it has evolved into a relevant indicator for measuring corruption and assessing the government\u2019s willingness to address this issue.<\/p>\n

Reforms in the Judiciary Are Necessary<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dismissed<\/a><\/strong> Judge from Veles and Pharmacy Chain Owners Accused of Forgery<\/strong> – <\/strong>The Basic Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office in Kavadarci has filed charges against a judge from the Basic Court in Veles, a married couple who own a pharmacy chain, and a legal entity. They are accused of forging an official document and using a document with false content. The primary defendant, while handling a case in which the other accused were plaintiffs, issued a ruling in their favor, granting them ownership rights over commercial property and land beneath a building. Despite the ruling not being final or enforceable, and the defendants having filed timely appeals, the judge, deliberately influenced by the co-defendants, certified the ruling with an official stamp, falsely marking it as final and enforceable. She then personally handed over the fraudulent document to the manager of the legal entity instead of delivering it through official court channels.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of <\/strong>m<\/strong>illions of <\/strong>e<\/strong>uros in <\/strong>b<\/strong>udget <\/strong>damage<\/a><\/strong>, <\/strong>m<\/strong>inimal <\/strong>a<\/strong>sset <\/strong>c<\/strong>onfiscation<\/strong> – <\/strong>Over the past decade, the budget has suffered losses amounting to a total of\u00a0\u20ac244 million, according to an analysis by\u00a0Radio Free Europe<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a030 high-profile court cases. Prosecutors requested the confiscation of assets from around ten defendants, worth approximately\u00a0\u20ac62 million, but the court approved confiscations in only five cases, amounting to\u00a0\u20ac49 million. The decision regarding the apartments of former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski is still pending from the Government. If the court had approved the full confiscation requested by prosecutors, the\u00a0Agency for Confiscated Property<\/em>\u00a0would have assets worth nearly\u00a0\u20ac62 million\u00a0“on paper,” according to\u00a0Radio Free Europe\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0analysis. Out of the 30 analyzed court cases, the court ruled in only five that\u00a0\u20ac49 million\u00a0of the requested\u00a0\u20ac62 million\u00a0should be confiscated. Had these funds been recovered, the state could have, for example, covered the interest on the Hungarian loan for the first three years or built at least\u00a030 new schools. These confiscation rulings, despite being final for years, have not yet been fully executed or collected. The cases in question include\u00a0“Empire”<\/em>,\u00a0“The Vodno Plots”<\/em>,\u00a0“Trust”<\/em>, and\u00a0“Diamed”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This was revealed in a\u00a0survey conducted by the Coalition “All for Fair Trials”\u00a0at the request of the\u00a0Judges’ Association<\/em>. 9% of the 1,100 respondents\u00a0reported being asked for a\u00a0bribe. One-third of these cases\u00a0involved direct requests from\u00a0judges, while the rest came from\u00a0other court staff. Citizens are\u00a0most dissatisfied\u00a0with the\u00a0speed of court proceedings, which is impacted by an\u00a0increased case loadand a\u00a0shortage of judges\u2014a concern previously highlighted by the Coalition. While\u00a0judges expressed satisfaction\u00a0with the findings, the\u00a0Minister of Justice\u00a0described the numbers as\u00a0concerning\u00a0and indicative of deep-rooted issues in the judicial system.<\/p>\n
