„If one was serving ten years in prison, one would think really hard about everything”
Tax Administration announced that 102 „phantom“ and „money laundering companies“ were discovered during 2018, which, as announced, are the main generators of grey economy and that is 36% more than in the same period in previous year.
Professor at the Faculty of Economics, Ljubodrag Savic has stated for BIZLife that the main cause is lenient penal policy when such offences are in question.
„If one was serving ten years in prison, one would think really hard about everything“, Savic said.
According to the professor, the problem also lies in the fact that a small part of Tax Administration officials protect their own interest, and not the state’s interest, so they can „look through one’s fingers“ for all kinds of offences or crimes.
„The blame“ is to be found in part of the judiciary that delays and stultify proceedings, says Savic.
„The solution is in a tougher penal policy, in more efficient work of the judiciary and a better control,“ the professor specifies.
