      C&A Serbia being the target of organized customs fraud

      Düsseldorf, 05.07.2022. After having been the target of organized customs fraud committed by unknown perpetrators, C&A Serbia had no choice but to file for insolvency today. The
      perpetrators systematically performed over 300 fraudulent acts violating Serbian customs regulations. Affected by this decision are 14 stores and about 135 employees in Serbia. This
      situation is very specific and applies to Serbia only. This development does not concern in any way any other C&A markets.

      C&A Serbia has been the target of organised customs fraud committed by one of its business partners and other perpetrators who are still unknown. The said perpetrators have
      performed over 300 fraudulent imports systematically by abusing the C&A logo, beneficial customs status and the representation powers of the C&A customs representative in Serbia. The crime was discovered in October 2021 when C&A was first informed of these fraudulent imports by the Serbian Customs Authority.

      After months of investigation and despite evidence supporting the position that C&A Serbia should not bear the consequences of that crime, the Serbian Customs Authority took the
      position that C&A Serbia is liable to pay customs duties for the goods declared within the fraudulent imports.

      After a thorough analysis of the situation, C&A Serbia’s Management Team has come to the
      conclusion that the risks involved in further contesting the legal position upheld by the
      Serbian authorities cannot be borne responsibly. Given the financial scope of demands
      against C&A Serbia, the Management Team was forced to file for insolvency today.
      Future proceedings will be handled by an appointed insolvency receiver.
