Convict for tax evasion given a million-dollar tender<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nAfter that, Vodovod announced a call for bids for the construction of the sewage system in December 2019, and in March this year it concluded a contract with To\u0161kovi\u0107. Already in May, Vodovod introduced a legally convicted person to job, all in the presence of Mayor Vukovi\u0107 and his assistants.<\/p>\n
At the end of August, as MANS already announced, as part of the election campaign, Mayor Ivan Vukovi\u0107 publicly praised the quality of works and capacities of To\u0161kovi\u0107’s company on the construction site.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Vukovi\u0107 was fully informed that To\u0161kovi\u0107 was convicted of tax evasion since, among other things, he had previously received numerous questions from the Investigative Centre regarding the violation of the tender procedure of KfW Bank, which he duly ignored.<\/p>\n
Ivan Vukovi\u0107 and the director of Vodovod, Filip Makrid, decided to remain silent, until MANS submitted a copy of the judgment of the High Court to KfW Bank in Frankfurt, which confirms that To\u0161kovi\u0107 was convicted.<\/p>\n
Therefore, it is difficult to talk about the “timely” termination of the contract, which we are quite sure would remain in force if MANS had not informed the creditors of that deal, KfW Bank, and requested a reaction. This is evidenced by the fact that To\u0161kovi\u0107’s workers and machines were present at the construction site and performed the works at the beginning of this week.<\/p>\n
In addition, the claim that the certified statement of the applicant To\u0161kovi\u0107 was submitted within the offer, guaranteeing that he was not convicted, does not release Vukovi\u0107 and the director of Vodovod, Filip Makrid, from liability, bearing in mind that this information was easily verifiable, and yet none of the authorities and employees felt the need to check it.<\/p>\n
Finally, the claim of the Capital City that To\u0161kovi\u0107 had previously “met all qualification requirements and was awarded a contract according to the bank’s guidelines and rules” is also incorrect, which KfW Bank itself confirmed after MANS informed it of the omission made by the institutions headed by Vukovi\u0107 and Makrid.<\/p>\n
Due to all this and suspicion of fraud and abuse of power in the economy, MANS will file criminal charges against Ivica To\u0161kovi\u0107, which will include Ivan Vukovi\u0107 and Filip Makrid, all because of the suspicion that they committed criminal acts of abuse of office and negligent work in service.<\/p>\n
