Moscow-based “Ikarus Moskva” markets energy trading, “bank solutions,” and cross-border legal services from a Moscow City tower. Its public Team page lists Serbian lawyer Marko Vujošević—a figure long linked in FinTelegram investigations to the 2016–2019 Belgrade boiler-room era and the Montenegro payment processor Global Payment Systems DOO (GPS).
Montenegrin-born lawyer Marko Vujosevic had a thriving law practice in Belgrade until 2020. His law firm participated in the fraudulent binary options industry and procured dozens if not hundreds of work permits for Israeli citizens. With the cybercrime masterminds, Uwe Lenhoff and Gal Barak co-founded the illegal payment processor Global Payments Solutions DOO (GPS) in Podgorica that laundered millions for binary options like Option888 or TradoVest. After a lost defamation claim, Vujosevic's law firm seems to have vanished. Google says it is temporarily closed.
The trial against the ringleaders of the cybercrime organization E&G Bulgaria is currently underway in Munich, Germany. Gal Barak was already sentenced to four years in jail in Vienna in Sept 2020. Almost unnoticed, the preparation of charges against several ringleaders of the cybercrime organization around the late Uwe Lenhoff and the Veltyco Group is currently underway in Saarbrücken. Criminal records show that MoneyNetInt was massively involved in Lenhoff's money laundering.
The Belgrade-based online news portal In4S exposed an explosive political dimension of cybercrime charges around Gal Barak und Uwe Lenhoff. The Belgrade lawyer Marko Vujosevic allegedly stole and laundered €19 million via Global Payment Solutions DOO (GPS) in Montenegro. GPS is at the very center of the cybercrime organization of Barak and Lenhoff. The latter died in prison for unknown reasons. Barak was sentenced to four years in prison for investment fraud and money laundering. And now IN4S claims part of these cybercrime proceeds was used to finance the President of Montenegro.
A shooting attack was carried out this morning on Belgrade lawyer Marko Vujosevic. He apparently survived unharmed but badly shocked. Vujosevic was the founder and administrator of Global Payment Solutions Podgorica, which was registered in Montenegro. This was an illegal payment processor for two scammers Uwe Lenhoff and Gal Barak. The latter was sentenced to four years in prison in the Vienna Cybercrime Trials (#VCT). Lenhoff was found dead in his prison cell before the trial began. Previously, Vujosevic had claimed that Gal Barak had issued a murder order against him.
The Israeli scammer and cybercrime principal Gal Barak was sentenced to four years in prison and restitution payments at the beginning of September 2020 at the start of the Vienna Cybercrime Trials ("#VCT"). Further charges against his co-conspirators will follow in various EU jurisdictions. Barak and his partner Uwe Lenhoff have also operated their illegal boiler rooms and payment processors in the Balkans. The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network has recently published the Balkan Papers related to the #VCT.
On September 1, 2020, the FMA issued an investor warning against IFX Banc (www.ifxcapitals.com and www.ifxbanc.com) which is allegedly operated by Global Payment Solutions LLC in Podgorica, Montenegro. A quickly conducted review by FinTelegram revealed that the Bulgarian Ankor Group Investment Ltd is also stated as the operator.
The victim of these attacks in Belgrade is not unknown on the international scammer scene. Marko Vujosevic, 39, is a well-known lawyer in Belgrade and a partner in the law firm Vujosevic & Partner. Allegedly Vujosevic was attacked by several thugs. In addition, large posters (see featured image) have been put up in various places in Belgrade in which Vujosevic is described as a thief, forger, and crook.
