According to the investigation, on June 7, 2022 Naumov tried to leave Serbia for Northern Macedonia through the border checkpoint "Preševo", hiding property and money from customs control.

He was found in possession of 592 thousand 990 euros, 120 thousand 102 dollars, two emeralds.

The high-ranking official was traveling in a BMW X6 PMV car, which formally belongs to his wife.

The SBI believes that all this property and funds were obtained by the defendant by criminal means during his tenure as director of the State Enterprise "Center for Organizational, Technical and Information Support of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone Management" and in the SBU.

The man was subsequently detained by Serbian law enforcers, as he violated the provisions of Art. 86 of the Law of the Republic of Serbia "Prevention of the Crime of Genocide". 86 of the Law of the Republic of Serbia "On Prevention of Money Laundering" and Article 12 of the Law of the Republic of Serbia "On Customs Affairs".

"To avoid responsibility, the ex-law enforcer decided to forge official documents to create a false impression in the Serbian law enforcement and judicial authorities regarding the legality of the origin of funds and property. He entered into a criminal conspiracy with other persons and organized the production of forged official documents. In particular, a loan agreement (repayable financial assistance) allegedly concluded between his father and a third person. As well as the act of providing funds to the Loan Agreement, allegedly concluded between his father and the same person. After receiving a package of false documents from his accomplices, he handed them over to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Department of the Supreme Court in the Serbian city of Nis", the report says.

In cooperation with Serbian law enforcement officers, investigators of the SBI and the Prosecutor's Office proved the fact of forgery of these documents and handed them over to the Serbian court. In this regard, the former head of the SBU's Main Department of Internal Affairs, Andrei Naumov, was reported on suspicion of organizing the forgery of official documents.

When he was head of the SBU's Main Internal Security Directorate, he was featured in an investigation by Schemes journalists into the acquisition of elite property not comparable to a civil servant's official income. Scheme also reported that on the eve of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, on February 23, Andrei Naumov traveled abroad.
