A second superseding indictment filed December 28th adds a forfeiture notice to Kristijan Krstic’s Ponzi scheme charges. Krstic, accused of orchestrating a massive fraud, faces the potential seizure of extensive assets if convicted. The notice details a significant collection of international properties, luxury vehicles, and high-end watches.
The indictment specifies several Serbian properties for forfeiture. These include a four-room apartment with garage spaces in Belgrade, two family residential buildings in Nis, a three-room apartment in Nis, an office space in Nis, and another three-bedroom apartment in Nis. A two-story house with a patio and pool located in Praia da Luz, Portugal, is also listed.
Beyond real estate, the government seeks to seize a considerable number of luxury watches. The collection includes a Rolex, an Oceanaut watch, a Louis Vuitton watch, four Hublot watches, two Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches, three Versace watches, two Anne Klein watches, five Guess watches, a Roberto Cavalli watch, two Just Cavalli watches, a Piaget watch, three Michael Kors watches, a Patek Philippe watch, a Fierro R29 watch, an Armani watch, and a LEXR watch.
The indictment also lists several high-value vehicles as subject to forfeiture. These include a Ferrari FF, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class 350 BlueTEC, a Porsche Panamera, a Land Rover Evoque, and a Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Additionally, €31,100 in seized cash is targeted for forfeiture.
According to the Grand Jury, these assets are believed to be proceeds traceable to Krstic's alleged Ponzi empire. Krstic was previously facing extradition from Serbia to the United States. Serbian authorities had placed him under house arrest in July, but Krstic and his wife subsequently fled. The Department of Justice has not commented on their disappearance in its court filings.
