Special prosecutor Lidija Vučkević announced that on January 1, the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) initiated criminal proceedings against Dragan, Bojan and Boris Brković and Milić Popović, on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of abuse of power in the economy, and Dragan Brković charges for money laundering.
Vučkević speaks about the HTP Boka case at the joint conference of the SDT and the Police Administration.
She said that the three Brković and Popović are suspected of having caused multimillion-dollar damage in this way.
Vukčević said that from the evidence they collected, it follows that the suspects sold part of the company's property for seven million euros during 2018 and 2019, and the money was not used for what it was intended for.
She also explained that this money was transferred to other companies through fictitious contracts, including the contract for the transfer of 2.000.000 euros to the account of a company from Abu Dhabi, whose owner is one of the suspects.
Prosecutor Vukčević said that parallel to this, a financial investigation of the suspects and their related persons was launched.
She also pointed out that part of the money from the sale of property was transferred directly to the account of one of the suspects.
In addition to Vukčević, chief special prosecutor Milivoj Katnić and special prosecutor Miroslav Turković, SDT associate Jovanka Krunić, head of the Special Police Department Dragan Radonjić and head of the Department for Suppression of Serious Crimes Milorad Žižić are attending the conference.
Jovanka Krunić, an expert associate at the SDT, announced that from January to September 1, 2021, the SDT issued 19 orders to conduct an investigation and one order to expand the investigation against 131 individuals and 18 legal entities.
In the same period, she said, 18 indictments and one indictment were brought against 102 persons and 11 legal entities.
Krunić pointed out that ten orders were issued at the same time on the initiation of financial investigations against 58 individuals and two legal entities.
