Officials from the Bar Department of Security acted upon a report and, following police measures and actions, upon order of the public prosecutor in the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Bar, filed criminal charges against M.M (43) from Bar, suspected of committing the criminal offense of abuse of position in business operations, to the detriment of a company that reported him to the police and in which he was engaged.

It is believed he unlawfully appropriated a total of 3,383.50 euros, causing material damage to the company in question. Police officers from the Bar Department of Security, acting on the report and undertaking measures and actions within their jurisdiction, collected statements from multiple individuals and documentation relevant to the case, after which, based on the order of the competent public prosecutor who reviewed the case files, criminal charges were filed against the suspect through a regular procedure.
