Marijana M. from Serbia is currently one of the most wanted women in Europe, on the orders of Austria, on suspicion of being behind a fraud worth "10 million euros", more precisely that as a shaman she performed black magic on people and took money for it. The suspect escaped arrest, and her son Franceshko M. is behind bars, and the police are investigating the origin of his property. His defense attorney, Mihael Babić, told Nova.rs that his client has been involved in business for years and claims that he has nothing to do with the matters he is accused of.

The news that a woman of Serbian origin is wanted in Austria was a bombshell in Europe and the Balkans. The authorities in that country accuse her of taking money and valuables from the population in order to remove black magic and curses from them. In a luxurious villa in Lower Austria, which has as many as 23 rooms, the police seized a large sum of money, gold jewelry, bars, ducats and medals.

Marijana M. escaped arrest, and her son Francesco M. ended up behind bars. His defense attorney, Michael Babić, told the Nova.rs portal that their office represents both the mother and son, but that in the case of the young man, the reasons for his arrest and detention are unacceptable.

My client received a summons to report to the police station last week. He took the summons very seriously and responded himself. When he showed up at the station, he was immediately arrested. I visited him and spoke to him, but it was not clear to us what he was being charged with, as we did not have any information at the time. "In the meantime, he has been remanded in custody and we were told that he was accused of being an accomplice with his mother in defrauding a victim and that he is suspected of money laundering," he told Nova.rs defense attorney Babic.

He owned a real estate company and was involved in gold sales.
As he points out, his client has had a real estate company for years, and before that he was involved in selling gold and watches, which led to his acquisition of large capital that is being checked by the competent authorities.

"There are certificates for the gold that was found, which has been in the family for decades, in the family's last name, and was in the safe. A story was made up for the press, everything was set up as if it were an auction, to take pictures. "Because they set it up like that, I, as a lawyer, believe that this is a verdict before the verdict, and what is worst is that what was shown to the journalists was not in the indictment," claims the defense attorney of the arrested young man.
