Reacting to the interview of the Executive Director of MANS, Vanja Ćalović Marković, in TV show “Načisto”, the Special Prosecutor’s Office clumsily tried to mask the obvious lack of liability in that institution with statistical data. On the other hand, it is interesting that the prosecution did not say a word about the case of Telekom, Đukanović family, Brano Mićunović or Branimir Gvozdenović.
As for the proceedings against Šarić and Kalić, they were initiated before the establishment of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, but since its forming, they have been taken over by special prosecutors who have not even tried to prove the criminal charges against them.
The indictment in Šarić case was filed by Đurđina Nina Ivanović while Hasan Lukač filed an indictment in Kalić case, and both of them were promoted after such mistakes.
Lukač was awarded a position in the Prosecutorial Council and is now evaluating the work of other prosecutors, while Ivanović is the Deputy Supreme State Prosecutor.
The accused persons in these proceedings were acquitted, and they can never be tried again for these crimes, due to the mistake of the State Prosecutor’s Office in the first place, and then the High Court in Bijelo Polje, which was stated by the Appellate Court and confirmed by the Supreme Court.
The charges for money laundering in the case of Šarić and Lončar were dropped because neither the first instance court nor the prosecutor determined its origin. They were also acquitted of charges of organized crime and cocaine smuggling because the Special Prosecutor charged them with acts that are not criminal offenses under the Criminal Code.
The High Court in Bijelo Polje confirmed the prosecution’s unlawful indictment, despite its legal obligation to review it, and adopted three unlawful verdicts, showing that it was unable to determine which law to apply.
In the case of Kalić, the prosecution filed an indictment for the criminal offense of money laundering without a single piece of evidence that the money originated from the criminal offense. The court confirmed such an indictment, instead of returning it for amendment.
Thus, the High Court in Bijelo Polje enabled the continuation of the proceedings based on the unlawful indictment, which ultimately led to the acquittal, but also to the prohibition of retrial for that offense.
In the case against Kalić, it was determined that € 3.5 million had no origin, but the prosecution did not provide any evidence that the money came from a criminal offense.
These are all the facts that the Special Prosecutor’s Office cannot deny with any statistics and are excellent examples of their previous results so far. Whether such results are a product of ignorance and corruption, the time ahead should show.
