The former manager of the Serbian state lottery and Deputy Prime Minister’s cabinet member, he is charged with embezzlement while serving as the director of Belgrade’s Nikola Tesla Airport. He is accused of changing the company’s internal rulebook to allow salary increases, thus allowing himself to dish out excessive salaries and bonuses to himself and other management.

Krišto told OCCRP that the foreign funds were acquired before his state appointments, and partly before his birth, through his family’s business activities across Europe.
