Eliran Ovad and his wife, Kourtz Oved Liat, orchestrated a so-called „business” that is, in fact, an INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME GROUP that defrauded tens of thousands of people worldwide.
Sources within judicial services indicate that the damages exceed 500,000,000 euros/dollars. The investigation against these „honest businessmen” is being conducted by judicial authorities in several European countries, as well as in the USA and Australia.
In the following material, we present part of the details available so far, as revealed by judicial documents and information provided by the authorities involved:
On … , the General Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade – Special Department for Combating High-Tech Crime, in collaboration with the Police Department for Combating High-Tech Crime, initiated proceedings and arrested 17 people accused of fraud and money laundering.
During this operation, several individuals associated with the following companies were detained: „Man Marketing d.o.o. Belgrade”, „NPD Partner d.o.o. Belgrade – New Belgrade”, „Asgard d.o.o.

These employees, along with the company, are accused of having committed fraud between … and …, targeting 23 individuals who are citizens of Australia and Switzerland. The prosecutor claims that the fraud was carried out through several online platforms – „Grand Pacific Trade”, „Coinwealthinv”, and „Victoria Coins” – which were actually clone websites, as no real trading activity took place on these platforms. Furthermore, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system was used in communications between the employees and the victims.
The Serbian Prosecutor’s Office was informed by the German police on … that the „Grand Pacific Trade” platform was registered under the company „Olympus Prime d.o.o. Belgrade”.
Following searches conducted at the headquarters of „Olympus Prime d.o.o. Belgrade”, authorities found evidence (information extracted from employees’ computers) indicating that there were several organized groups within the company – named „Atlas”, „Spartans”, „Miners”, „Panzers”, etc. According to the data available so far, these groups caused damages to Australian and Swiss citizens amounting to approximately 26.3 million euros.
To accurately determine the number of victims and the total damages, the authorities are awaiting the completion of the technical analysis of the computers and servers seized during the search.
Stefan Marjanović – Head of the first shift
Danilo Fatić – Leader of the „Atlas” group
Marko Cvetković – Leader of the „Spartans” group
Aleksandar Dabić – Member of the „Miners” group
Uroš Bokić – Leader of the „Atlas” group
The prosecutor and police mention that there are other members of these groups, but their real identities are yet to be established during the investigation, as they used false names when interacting with the victims.
An interesting detail is that the investigation into the Serbian call centers actually started in Germany, at the end of … Initially, all efforts were focused on the companies „Man Marketing d.o.o. Belgrade”, „NPD Partner d.o.o. Belgrade – New Belgrade”, and „Asgard d.o.o. Belgrade”. Only on … did the German police mention, for the first time in an email to Serbian authorities, the company „Olympus Prime d.o.o. Belgrade”, identifying it as operating the platforms „Aurora Coins” and „Grand Pacific Trade”.
Additionally, the German police reported that the hosting services for these fraudulent platforms were provided by the company „Kinsta”, which also supplied the authorities with information about other online platforms registered with the same provider, including „grandpacifictrade.com” and „victoria-coins.com”.
During the search at „Olympus Prime d.o.o. Belgrade”, contracts and payroll slips related to specific companies for which „Olympus Prime” provided marketing services were seized from the legal and accounting departments. These companies include:

Furthermore, the digital data extracted from the confiscated computers and servers will undergo a detailed forensic analysis to obtain new evidence.
Regarding the preventive arrest measure applied to the employees of „Olympus Prime d.o.o. Belgrade”, the initial detention decision was overturned following an appeal, and the case was sent back to Judge Nikola Mikić for reassessment. However, the judge upheld the same decision previously made by his colleagues, ordering the extension of the detention for all five employees. This decision can be challenged again on appeal, which is expected to be submitted the following day. The detention measure remains valid until …, at which point Judge Nikola Mikić will decide whether to extend the arrest for another 30 days.
