With the request to disqualify Katnić and the special prosecutors, which Stanković rejected yesterday, the defense lawyers requested that the indictment be represented by the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office, but also that the VDT initiate proceedings against Katnić "in connection with the described acts punishable by law."
Mandić's defense attorney, who submitted the request to the judge, said after the trial that the defense had evidence that the affair was staged and that Beba Popović participated in it.
"We have evidence from Interpol Zagreb, Interpol Wiesbaden, Interpol Belgrade, documents from Spuž. It also makes them itch - where do we get the documents from Spuž. Let them scratch their heads, there are honest people who work in institutions... I am honestly surprised that Ivica Stanković, when it was published, did not submit a request for the dismissal of the chief special prosecutor... In France and Germany, prosecutors are also for minor offenses of these were deprived of their freedom, according to the orders of higher prosecutors", he said.
Lawyer Jovanović claims that the defense attorneys of the defendants are not motivated and that they behave professionally. "I know he is hurt by the 143rd page of the submission, 200 pages of evidence that he never dreamed would surface. I know that it hurts him that we see that Beba Popović was involved, we have documents about that. We have documents for everything we say, the defense of all the defendants," he said.
Milan Knežević's lawyer, lawyer Dušan Radosavljević, explained that his client revoked the power of attorney of lawyer Goran Rodić last week, because "it was impossible for him to continue to defend him, primarily because of the scandalous statements of the prosecution, the correspondence that was published in the media..."
"I was hired as a defense attorney in this case only the day before yesterday. I could get the impression that the indictment is factually unfounded, logically unsustainable and politically motivated... Knežević wants this proceeding to end as soon as possible, to present his defense and wants to defend himself with the truth, because it wins".
