Serbia's Organized Crime Prosecutor Takes Over Railway Corruption Investigation
The Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office transfers corruption case linked to tragic rail station incident in Novi Sad to the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office.
The Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office of Serbia announced today the transfer of a corruption case related to the renovations at the Novi Sad railway station, where 15 individuals lost their lives on November 1 of last year.
The case, previously under investigation by the Special Department for the Suppression of Corruption in the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad, has now been referred to the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office.
Zagorka Dolovac, the Supreme Public Prosecutor, stated in an announcement that a decision was made to forward the case files and temporarily assign the prosecutor from Novi Sad to work on this case within the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office.
This decision follows findings suggesting credible grounds to suspect that criminal offenses falling under the jurisdiction of state authorities responsible for organized crime and terrorism have occurred.
The announcement emphasized that the investigation into the responsibility for the deaths of the 15 individuals due to the collapse of the roofing at the Novi Sad railway station will continue independently and with the highest priority.
It is expected that indictments against 13 individuals will soon come into effect, according to the statement.
Additionally, Supreme Public Prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac invited representatives of student protests to a meeting to discuss their demands that fall under the jurisdiction of the public prosecutor's office.
