Among those apprehended were five inspectors from the State Directorate for Gambling, charged with receiving bribes and abuse of office. Others were charged with conspiracy to commit criminal acts and unauthorized gambling. The loss to the Serbian state through these activities is estimated in excess of 1 million euros.

According to the State Prosecutor for Organized Crime Miljko Radisavljevic, gambling inspectors received cash and other gifts from the owners of betting locations and casinos.

In turn, they would alert owners to scheduled inspections, which would allow them to move illegal gambling machines offsite.
