Suspect Zoran Pažin, in his panic reaction, admitted rather than denied his institutional involvement in the pressures on former CIA agent Jozef Assad, said former Democratic Front (DF) leaders Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević.
They reacted to the statement in which Pažin's statements by Knežević and Mandić about the alleged pressures and mistreatment of the lawyer of the defendant Jozef Asad are blatant lies, calculated to cause confusion and spread falsehoods to the public, in order not to put additional pressure on the judiciary from a political standpoint. power and authority and at the same time improved their rating, as he assessed, damaged by various scandals.
"The former deputy prime minister and minister of justice is suspected by the SDT in case Kt-S no. 98/24 of the criminal offense of unlawful influence under Article 422 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code. And he received the status of a suspect based on a statement, as Zoran Pažin says his friend, the British lawyer Tobi Cadman, who claims that he was interrogated several times by the suspect ZP in his residence. At those hearings in the Gorica villa, the suspect Zoran Pažin asked the lawyer Tobi Cadman that his client Jozef Asad falsely accuse the DF leaders. - and Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević", it is stated in the joint statement of Mandić and Knežević.
They submitted this certified statement of Mr. Kedmen, as well as the letter from the SDT in which Zoran Pažin is listed as a suspect, to the public for inspection.
Regarding today's reaction of Zoran Pažin that we are putting pressure on judicial institutions, Mandić and Knežević say that they perceive it as a classic substitution of theses.
"On the contrary, with yesterday's and today's actions, we are doing everything to free the judicial institutions from any kind of political pressure. And we remind the suspect ZP that he is the one who was marked by the SDT for the act of illegal influence from the position of the former deputy prime minister and minister We also remind him of the statement of Duško Marković, the then prime minister, that the indictment against the DF leader will be confirmed a month before its review in the High Court. in an interview on the Public Service, announced that the leaders of the DF will be tried in the first instance, which is what happened," the leaders of the former DF state.
They said that these are classic examples of political and institutional pressures that Pažin seems to have forgotten.
"And then, through an attempt to replace theses, he wants to make himself an innocent lamb that the bloodthirsty wolves from the DF want to tear apart. That's why we repeat once again, the suspect Pažin does not have a problem with Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević, but with the SDT, which marked him as a suspect, which he never denied. ZP also has a problem with the testimony of Tobi Kedman, who never denied it. And finally, he also has a problem with himself because he abused his position as Minister of Justice and Deputy Prime Minister." are in reaction.
