A dozen of police officers involved in a ring for falsification of passports and personal documents were arrested on Tuesday and the operation is still ongoing, the Ministry of Interior told MIA.
The operation is carried out after a year-long investigation by the police, in cooperation with the United States Embassy investigations office and Interpol.
According to the MoI sources, yesterday’s briefing by a political party was aimed at sabotaging this international operation.
VMRO-DPMNE said in a press release that Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and Minister of Interior Oliver Spasovski made sure that Balkan drug lords obtain Macedonian passports and documents, including Montenegro’s Jovan Vukotic and Turkey’s Sedat Peker.
The police will provide more details on the operation later in the day.
