The village of Betliar in the Rožňava district lost approximately 100,000 euros to fraud; according to several reports, the sum exceeded 110,000 euros. Mayor Helena Kúkelová was reportedly manipulated into transferring municipal funds through sophisticated fraudulent practices. hnonline.sk ↗
The fraudsters reportedly posed as a fake police officer and an employee of the National Bank of Slovakia. It was under this pretext that they allegedly convinced the mayor to send money from the village's account. The case concerns the municipal administration in Betliar and has attracted attention mainly due to the size of the damage and the manner in which the municipal funds were transferred. korzar.sme.sk ↗
After the fraud was discovered, a claim for the bank transfers followed. Thanks to prompt action and the steps taken so far, it has been possible to secure the return of approximately 20,000 euros to the village's account. However, the remaining amount is still being addressed, and the case requires further investigation. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
The mayor stated that she wants to reimburse the missing money to the village from her own resources. According to available information, she has already begun selling her property in order to cover the damage. Further developments will depend on the results of the fraud investigation, on the possibilities of recovering additional funds, and on the steps the village takes in dealing with the damage that has arisen. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
