The bank president tried to flee the country. The destination was supposed to be Russia.

The Serbian police conducted a lengthy search at Alta Bank, leading to the arrest of its president, Macura, who attempted to flee to Moscow after the recent parliamentary elections. Macura is among four Serbian businessmen facing potential U.S. sanctions for allegedly collaborating with former President Vucic and misusing public resources for personal gain. The National Bank of Serbia revoked Alta Bank's operating license to protect depositors and maintain financial stability. The bank has been linked to facilitating financial transactions for Russian entities following the invasion of Ukraine.
