Austrian authorities have issued a second summons to Roberto Divkovic after the businessman failed to appear for a scheduled police questioning in connection with criminal fraud charges. Divkovic, who faces allegations of defrauding investors of hundreds of thousands of euros through a bogus gold trading scheme, is now scheduled to be questioned on January 27, 2026.
Timeline of Missed Appointments
According to public prosecutor files obtained by this publication, Austrian police first contacted Divkovic in Vienna and summoned him for questioning on November 27, 2025. Divkovic canceled this appointment, stating he intended to seek legal counsel before providing any testimony.
Authorities subsequently arranged for Divkovic to review the case files with his counsel on December 22, 2025. However, Divkovic failed to attend this appointment and, according to the records, provided no explanation for his absence.
As a result of his failure to appear, Austrian prosecutors have issued a second summons. Divkovic is now scheduled to be questioned on January 27, 2026.
Victims React
One of Divkovic’s alleged victims expressed frustration but not surprise at the latest developments.
“I’m not surprised Roberto Divkovic is avoiding the police. He has shown complete disregard for the law and for authorities. He has never had to face any real consequences for his scams and frauds. Roberto Divkovic has ruined the lives of countless victims and he belongs in jail, where he can’t hurt anyone else”
Who is Roberto Divkovic?
Roberto Divkovic is a 33-year-old Austrian national who served as CEO of IMP 1991 Plus DOO Beograd, a Serbian-registered company that claimed to specialize in gold trading. Born on December 30, 1991, Divkovic reportedly had a brief career in football before entering the business world.
Beginning in late 2022, Divkovic allegedly attracted investors with promises of lucrative returns from purchasing gold in African nations including Ghana, Uganda, and Burkina Faso, then selling it to the National Bank of Serbia at a profit. Investors were promised high returns with quarterly payments.
Those promises were never kept. Multiple investors have reported losses in the six-figure range, with total alleged damages running into hundreds of thousands of euros. Victims have described Divkovic as initially sounding trustworthy, but he allegedly never made a single payment to investors. According to those who lost money, Divkovic simply took their funds and disappeared.
Previous Legal Actions
The criminal investigation in Austria follows a civil judgment against Divkovic in Serbia. In May 2025, a Serbian commercial court ordered Divkovic and his company IMP 1991 Plus DOO Beograd to pay €132,000 plus interest to defrauded investors, along with approximately €1,700 in legal costs.
The judgment became final after Divkovic failed to file an appeal within the 15-day window. Notably, the Serbian court had to appoint a temporary legal representative for Divkovic after repeated failures to serve him with court papers—a pattern that appears to be repeating itself in the Austrian criminal case.
What Happens Next
All eyes are now on whether Divkovic will appear for his scheduled questioning on January 27, 2026. If he fails to appear again, Austrian authorities may take additional steps to compel his attendance or issue an arrest warrant.
For his alleged victims, the criminal investigation represents a potential path to justice that civil proceedings have so far failed to deliver. While the Serbian court judgment vindicated their claims, collection has proved challenging.
Roberto Divkovic could not be reached for comment.
