Prosecutors suspect that M.N. and A.M., as responsible persons at the “A3 Architects Studio” company from Inđija, paid a total of 28.7 million dinars to alleged suppliers between December 2024 and August 2025 for the preparation of pavilion content and projects for Expo 2027, according to a public statement.
According to the prosecution, the work was not actually carried out, and the money was paid based on fictitious invoices.
The responsible persons at the companies that received the payments — N.K., B.T., as well as another person with the initials N.K. — are also suspected of laundering the money, while two people are on the run.
The prosecution suspects that the money was subsequently transferred through unjustified cashless transactions to the personal account of one of the suspects in order to conceal its origin.
M.N. and A.M. are also suspected of unjustifiably increasing operating expenses through fictitious invoices and thereby reducing taxable profit.

As a result, according to the prosecution’s estimate, the Serbian budget suffered approximately 8.4 million dinars in losses due to unpaid corporate income tax.
M.N. and A.M. have been placed in custody for up to 48 hours, after which they will be questioned by the Special Department for Combating Corruption of the Novi Sad Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Criminal proceedings against N.K., B.T. and N.K. are ongoing, while police are searching for two other suspects.
