International scammer Denis COKOVIC aka Denis Deney from Kosovo in Cambodian fraud case
26 October 2017
- Denis Cokovic, aka Denis Deney, a Kosovan man has been arrested by the military police and questioned by Mr. Ly Sok at Phnom Pehn Municipal Court, Phnom Penh.
Cokovic has been detained for allegedly scamming $US27M from the Director of Southeast Asian Television, Ms Khim Rany, who is also the wife of a senior Cambodian minister, Mr Kim Hourn.
Ms Khim Rany
Cokovic is also believed to be the mastermind behind a worldwide scam organization, and involved in other organized crimes.There is evidence to show that this Kosovan man has scammed many people around the world in deals worth millions of dollars.
In 2016, on 28 April,16 and 26 May and 12 June 2017, Denis Cokovic was indicted on a charge of incomplete trading devises based on article 377,article 378 of the penal code and article 231 of the penal code for the law of tradable instrument and payment transactions.
Other documents obtained indicate that Denis Cokovic is the brother of well-known drug dealer Vinita, born in Montenegro, who was arrested for smuggling 3.5 tonnes of cocaine worth 20 million euros in June 2015.
In 2019,Cokovic was indicted for attempted murder with Josip Svetic, who was convicted of drug fraud and on charge of shooting. Cokovic was also previously arrested for menacing a man by putting a pistol in his mouth and threatening to kill him on a boat.
In Febraury 2010 in [the Bosnian-Serbe city of] Banja Luka, Cokovic registered a company named Nahil that promised Serbian people jobs in Dubai, offering the salary between 2000 KM-6000KM. But to get this good deal, people who were interested in this service had to pay 800KM, but Cokovic never provided the jobs and scammed applicants out of 200000 KM.
After this, the Interior Minister of Serbia found that Cokovic was a fake name and cancelled his license and also alerted tax administration and all banks .
In Cokovic’s most recent scam to defraud Cambodian nationals, it is alleged that he has taken millions of dollars to invest under false pretenses from the Director of Southeast Asia Television Khim Rany. The suspect told the shareholder that a large foreign-investment company with fifty billion dollars was not yet ready to invest, so shareholders must pay in advance .
But after Khim Rany invested 27M$ with the suspect, the money was not used to build the resort in Kep and Kompot as planned, and then there was a demand for another $4million. This made Ms Rany suspicious, and she filed a lawsuit against the suspect who was arrested when he came to pick up the money.
The fraud investigation continues, led by prosecutor Mr Ly Sok.

Re: International scammer Denis COKOVIC aka Denis Deney from Kosovo in Cambodian fraud case
Meanwhile, no one is talking about the elephant in the room: how does a senior government official and his TV host wife have 27m to invest? Seems like the scammers/fraudsters have had a taste of their own medicine!

Re: International scammer Denis COKOVIC aka Denis Deney from Kosovo in Cambodian fraud case
I'm blown away by the amount involved. I didn't know much about the official but it seems he is a major player so I'm not that surprised he has large resources. I'm just surprised that he wasn't wise enough to spot a scam this large. Don't these people do any research?Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 10:00 pm Meanwhile, no one is talking about the elephant in the room: how does a senior government official and his TV host wife have 27m to invest?

If he let her "invest" that much, you can rest assured they've got 5X+ that stashed up. To be honest, such corruption is the main reason why I figure a change in government would be good. That's just ONE guy... Reshuffle the board, spread the love and money around and see what happens. If you wait just a few years more, even a PWC auditor won't be able to find dirt on these guys. By now most top dogs are probably "clean" already.

More on Denis Cokovic. This came up on the front page of an online search on Denis Cokovic. A simple background check should not be too much of an effort when you invest your millions with a stranger.
Why would you trust this man ? As a witness to his good character, this is a report from 2015 of the incident in Montenegro where Cokovic was arrested for acting like a thug with a pistol, and Cokovic's brother is described here as "a man who supplies half a world with cocaine."
[Google translate from Serbian]
Budva police arrested Cokovic yesterday because of the suspicion that he threatened Vladimir Colan from Lastva Grbaljska in Budva on Sunday. According to reliable information, on that day, near the beach bar "Greko" , Cokovic entered a motor boat , who was tied to the pier. Then he pulled out a pistol under his shirt, recharged it, and poured a barrel of Pistol Collar into his mouth. Allegedly, he threatened to kill Colon, arguing that he had already drove off the boat with his connection. After that, Cokovic allegedly repeatedly hit Colan with a pistol grip on his head, and then slammed his pistol on his stomach, demanding that he drive him to the dock. He was arrested shortly after the Budva police were informed of the incident.
[His brother] Vineta Cokovic was arrested in June in Spain on suspicion of organizing an international smuggling of 3.5 tonnes of cocaine. The media here describe him as a man who supplies half a world with cocaine. Both the Montenegrin and Spanish police marked him as the head of an international group of drug smugglers, broken by a joint action of police from seven countries.

"putting a pistol in his mouth and threatening to kill him on a boat."
That's very selected especially as Kosovo is land locked.
What if they were on a pedalo or large child's dingy?

Aren't Kosovo, Montenegro and Albania just one big mafia patch ? They have that reputation.It might be unjust, but I'd think twice about investing my 2c with anyone from those countries, especially Kosovan millionaires.this is a report from 2015 of the incident in Montenegro

I doubt she paid all the money, she probably made a downpayment and agreed to installments, then the principal went missingBitte_Kein_Lexus wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2017 10:00 pm Meanwhile, no one is talking about the elephant in the room: how does a senior government official and his TV host wife have 27m to invest?

Its just all speculation in these country's. And like you have implied, who is scamming who.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
