Construction company Dan-Mak was a target of 250,000 euro fraud in the Bojan Jovanovski-Boki 13 scheme for allegedly participating in EU projects to build retirement homes. This time the mediator was TV host Lila Filipovska, says the deceived Ena Nornild, co-owner of the construction company. Two years ago she filed criminal charges against Jovanovski and Filipovska, who has been forgotten in some prosecutor’s drawer. It is unclear why this case is not part of “Racket”, Nornild told MKD.mk.

Nornild told MKD.mk that she was summoned to the Financial Police yesterday for the first time and 3-4 months ago to the Prosecutor’s Office. But with no result.

“It all started when I chose Lila Filipovska as the face of my ‘Miss EN’ beauty salon. It was somewhere in early 2017,” Ena Nornild said. The collaboration went on as usual until the summer of 2017, when Lila offered a “good business deal” for the Dan-Mak company.

She told me that she was a good friend of Boki 13, who received an EU project to build retirement homes. The author of the project was Lila, Boki got it from the EU, and I had to pay 250,000 euros to the author of the project to participate in the construction of those homes. She told me that she had invested her own money into the project. I didn’t suspect any of this, after all, Lila was still working for me. I asked for a meeting with Boki. We went to his house in Orman. When I got inside, everything was under the EU sign – flags, folders, badges, pens… He told me that the project had already been received but was protected and details could be seen once the participation had been paid. I prepared a contract with my lawyer, with executive clauses for both parties if one does not comply with the terms of the contract,” Nornild said.

She never saw the project.

On June 21, 2017, Lila went to Nornild’s office all in tears and said her life depended on her money being that very day. The payment was completed the same day: 13.5 million denars were transferred to the account of Lila Filipovska, who then, under the name of Lila Stojanovska, converted the denars into 250,000 euros in cash, according to Nornild.

No state institution, neither the Financial Police, nor the National bank, nor the banks’ control services … reacted to this cash payment.

The deadline for the construction of the facilities was November 30, 2017. If something went wrong, the executive clause of the contract would have to be activated the same day.

“During the meeting with Boki 13, a certain Stjepan from Croatia was calling him on the phone all the time, who was part of the project and who was supposed to take the money. In cash. Where the money really ended up I don’t know. I only know that on November 29th I received a call from Lila and Boki to meet at the Park Hotel. They told me that the project would be prolonged, that there had been revisions and refinancing and now the deadline was the end of February 2018. I accepted only under the condition that the executive clause is effective from that date. I prepared an annex, and then Lila told me that on Boki’s advice she could not sign such an annex,” says Nornild.

Nornild then reported the fraud to the EU office in Skopje, the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Skopje, the Financial Police…

 

“To date, I have not heard from the EU whether such a project ever existed, whether funding has been approved for the construction of retirement homes. Silence. Just like from the prosecution. Prosecutor Sanja Burjakovska-Kitanovska has been assigned for my criminal charges against Lila Filipovska for fraud and against Bojan Jovanovski for criminal association. The charges are still in her drawer. This period she is constantly absent, sick, on trips, vacations … I have no doubt that this is an organized group, protected by the government. This is almost the same scheme that targeted businessmen Siljan Micevski, the “Drim Building” company from Struga… I do not understand why this case is not part of ‘Racket’. The prosecution has all the documents, my statement, what I am telling you now, they have in the prosecution… But nothing. Silence. After I posted the payment for Lila Filipovska 2-3 days ago on Facebook, yesterday I was immediately called to make a statement at the Financial Police. Why waiting for 2 years? Who has been keeping my case for 2 years? Once again – I have no doubt that much higher figures than our state apparatus are involved here,” says Nornild.

Another absurdity: the executive clause of the contract with Lila Filipovska meant Dan-Mak’s right to return the money. But Dan-Mak executives have determined that all of Filipovska’s property is mortgaged to banks.

Lila Filipovska, as a witness at one of the hearings in the “Racket” case, testified that she had borrowed 25,000 euros to Bojan Jovanovski to help him with 1TV.
