Criminal charges have been filed against the president of SDSM, Venko Filipche; the party’s general secretary, Aleksandar Sasha Dimitrijevic and former mayor of Centar Andrej Zhernovski—who currently serves as the SDSM secretary for international cooperation—Republika has learned.
According to our information, the criminal charges—filed with the Public Prosecutor’s Office—relate to the case of Alta Bank Bitola, and were submitted by the Central Bank of Macedonia.
Through persistent attacks and accusations made during their public appearances regarding the bank’s situation, all three individuals have recently incited significant panic among the public, which contributed to the state of uncertainty surrounding the bank. The Central Bank was forced to put Alta Bank under administration, to prevent a bank run.
