Marko Gašić, the mayor of Inđija, Serbia, has been arrested as part of an investigation into the suspected misuse of public funds involving payments for public works that were allegedly never completed.
Prosecutors suspect that Gašić and several other individuals were involved in transactions between 2023 and 2025 that resulted in financial losses estimated at approximately 26.96 million Serbian dinars.
Prosecutors Investigate Payments for Uncompleted Public Works
The investigation involves the mayor and several other suspects. Authorities have reported arrests and detention measures as part of the ongoing proceedings.
The estimated financial damage of 26.96 million dinars is based on allegations presented by prosecutors and has not been established through a final court judgment.
Reports also indicate that another individual is being sought in connection with the case. However, that person should not be considered arrested unless authorities officially confirm a detention.
Investigation Into Municipal Spending Continues
The case has brought renewed attention to the management of public contracts, municipal spending, and oversight of taxpayer money in Serbia.
Public infrastructure projects involve significant public resources, making transparency, proper documentation, and accountability essential responsibilities of local government.
Investigators must now determine whether the disputed payments were unlawful and establish the individual responsibility of each person involved.
The proceedings remain at the investigative stage.
Marko Gašić and all other suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty by a final court judgment.
