Special Prosecutor Jovan Vukotić proposed to the presiding judge, Judge Vesna Kovačević, that the High Court order a ban on Miloš Medenica from leaving his apartment after his detention, in which he spent three years without a first-instance verdict, expires on October 17th.
The judge stated that the panel will decide and announce the decision at the main hearing on October 17th.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) charges Miloš Medenica with creating a criminal organization that, among other things, smuggled cigarettes and influenced court decisions.
According to the claims of special prosecutors, his mother, former Supreme State Prosecutor and President of the Supreme Court Vesna Medenica, was also a member of that criminal group.
The criminal group gathered around them is accused of creating a criminal organization, the aggravated criminal offense of smuggling, the aggravated criminal offense of bribery, accepting a bribe, unlawful influence and incitement to unlawful influence, abuse of official position, unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotics, facilitating the consumption of narcotics, unauthorized possession of weapons and explosives, causing serious bodily harm, and preventing the production of evidence.
