A couple from Kumanovo say they were left without a home and without €14,000 after a contractor demolished their old house but never started building the new one.
The 51-year-old man and his 49-year-old wife reported that they had signed a contract with a person identified by the initials M.K. and handed over €14,000 for demolition and construction work.
The case was filed with police
The incident was reported yesterday at 12:00 to the Kumanovo police (SVR Kumanovo).
“According to the report, they signed a contract with M.K. for the demolition and construction of a new building, but he did not start any construction work at all; he only demolished the old house and refused to return the money,” the Ministry of Interior said.
