Two Arrested in Beocin Over Black Magic Removal Fraud

Police in Beocin have arrested two men suspected of fraud. They are identified only as D. N. (52) and M. K. (59). The public was informed of the arrest on June 19, and the case has been taken over by the competent prosecutor. The suspects are accused of offering residents black magic removal services and of obtaining other people’s money and valuables in that way.

According to the investigation, the two men presented their services to victims as help in resolving alleged supernatural problems. They reportedly approached people who were in a state of worry or personal distress. The work was also arranged online, where the service was advertised as removing black magic and protecting against curses.

The total illegal gain is estimated at around six million dinars. According to available information, that figure includes both cash and jewelry that victims handed over believing they were paying for a real service. The value of such frauds is usually calculated from several individual cases, and the exact number of victims is established by the prosecutor during the investigation.

How does black magic removal fraud work?

This form of fraud is not new, but it has persisted for years because it targets people at a moment of weakness. The suspects usually present themselves as fortune tellers or healers. The client is told that a curse or black magic hangs over them or their family. An offer of a solution follows, one that supposedly requires money, gold or other valuables.

The payment is often justified by claiming the funds are needed for a ritual or must be physically present during the removal. The victim then hands over property in the belief that it will be returned. In many cases the contact is made through ads and websites, which lets the fraudsters reach more people and operate from a distance.

In legal terms, such conduct can be classified as fraud. The law prescribes a penalty that depends on the amount of gain obtained. When the damage reaches a sum like the one in this case, it is a more serious form of the offense. It should be stressed that the suspects’ guilt has not been established by a final ruling and that they are presumed innocent until the proceedings conclude.

Why do people still turn to those who offer to remove magic?

Experts on this type of fraud have warned for years that the defense comes down to a simple rule. Anyone asking for money to lift a curse is not offering a real service. Police advise citizens not to hand over money or valuables to strangers and to report any suspicious offer.

The investigation in the Beocin case is ongoing. The prosecutor will determine exactly how many people were harmed and whether there are other participants. Until then, one question repeats with every story like this. What is it that still makes people, despite all the warnings, believe that misfortune can be bought off for six million dinars?
