The Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) created a case that is in the expert examination phase, which refers to the criminal charges filed against those responsible in Hipo Alpe Adria Bank (now Adiko Bank) due to loans with a currency clause linked to the Swiss franc.

The Supreme State Prosecutor (VDT) Ivica Stanković informed the members of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy in writing about the formation of the case.

At the end of July, the Assembly adopted the board's conclusions regarding the application of the law on the conversion of loans in Swiss francs into euros, the most important of which are that the VDT and the special prosecutor submit written information about their actions regarding the four criminal charges against those responsible in this bank, and the President of the Supreme Court to submit information about the reasons for the delay in the court proceedings initiated by the clients in May 2013.

The president of the board, Aleksandar Damjanović, asked Stanković and the president of the Supreme Court, Vesna Medenica, to inform the deputies what they did regarding these conclusions.

"Criminal charges have been filed with the SDT by several natural persons of loan beneficiaries against those responsible in the bank for criminal offenses related to the granting of loans in Swiss francs. The SDT conducts investigative actions based on those criminal reports that have been combined for the purpose of joint decision-making," explained Stanković in a letter that "Vijesti" has access to.

The Prosecutor's Office collected documentation from the Tax Administration - Central Registry of the Commercial Court, the public bailiff, documentation on concluded loan agreements from the bank and factoring company Heta.

"In the case, an order for an expert opinion was issued, as well as an amendment to the order by which a team of experts was engaged to determine the facts related to the creation of the disputed product (loans with a currency clause), the marketing of those loans, the assignment of credit claims to Heti or third parties, and proceedings in accordance with the law on conversion and other issues important for making a decision on submitted criminal charges. The bank submitted a request for the exemption of a number of experts. SDT decided on the request for exemption. The object is in the expert examination phase", stated Stanković.

Medenica has not yet informed the deputies what has been done in accordance with the parliamentary conclusion regarding the Supreme Court.
