During the process leading up to the complaint, police measures and actions were carried out based on which it is suspected that O.T.V., as the founder and executive director of the said legal entity, committed a criminal offense by continuously issuing fiscalized invoices in 2025, which resulted in the reported legal entity achieving taxable turnover of 277,982.03 euros, for which it did not submit monthly VAT reports to the Tax Administration of Montenegro, thus neither declaring nor calculating VAT obligations, as required by law.
