Gang Members Arrested for Counterfeiting Serbian Documents

In a case that involved counterfeiting of Serbian documents and Dinars, Austrian police and prosecution has responded hastily. Reports say that the counterfeiters were from Vienna.

This included raid on 12 apartments in Vienna. Here, they seized printed money. The investigation involved a huge group. This included 220 members of the Austrian police, Europol, the state prosecutor's office, and the National Bank of Austria.

This arrest was preceded by large scale raid. After this, passports, identity cards, driver's licences and money were found to have been counterfeited by the gang members. It was found during the inquest that the gang members used false documents to print money for buying real estates.

Rudolf Unterkofler of the Federal Criminal Service has fleshed out the details that the printing press had been active from past 18 months. The inquest reveals that several counterfeited euros entered in Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany, and the dinars in Serbia because of this case.

The amount that has been seized by the investigating police involves EUR 366,310 and RSD 1,507,000.

Investigating agency has stated that they have contacted the colleagues in Serbia and furnished the details about this case. Case has not stopped here and the repercussions of counterfeiting passports and money are huge.
