Several rooms that were damaged in the fire on the top floor of the Special Court building on Ustanička Street in Belgrade are used by the Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (JTOK), and Nova.rs published a photo showing what remains of the office of one of the prosecutors working on the financial investigation in the "Nadstrešnica" case. The employees managed to remove this and other items in time.
It is not yet known how the fire started, reports the Nova.rs portal, and the investigation has been taken over by the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade.
Flames and smoke first appeared on the ceiling of the office on the top floor, and thanks to the quick reaction of both prosecutors and other employees and the court guards who immediately came to the rescue, the objects that were in the endangered offices were promptly removed and saved.
As the media outlet has learned, in addition to the "Nadstrešnica" case, among the rescued and brought cases is the investigation into the case of Milorad Grčić, former acting director of EPS.
The photo published by "Nova" shows the office of one of the prosecutors working on the "Nadstrešnica" case, in which almost everything was destroyed, both by the fire and by the firefighters' intervention that followed. Part of the case file in the "Nadstrešnica" case that was in this office was promptly removed and saved, while the rest was in the offices of other prosecutors who were not directly threatened by the fire.
N1 reports that speculation first emerged in the public that the burned offices included, among others, the "General Staff" case, but as "Nova" has learned, the prosecutor who holds these files also does not have an office on the top floor where the fire broke out.
The regime's showdown with the JTOK, which has been intensifying in recent days due to changes to the Public Prosecutor's Office Law and proposed amendments, has not bypassed the fact that a fire occurred, so the regime media has been bidding for days on which objects were destroyed in the fire.
Thus, the regime portal "Vaselenska" today published a statement by a member of parliament proposing amendments to the prosecutorial laws of Uglješa Mrdić, calling on the police to question the chief prosecutor for organized crime, Mladen Nenadić, claiming that the case file in the investigation into the murder of Belgrade lawyer Dragoslav Miša Ognjanović was destroyed in the fire.
As Nova.rs has learned, this information is absolutely incorrect, because the case in the "Ognjanović" case is also being handled by a prosecutor whose office is not on the top floor of the building where the fire broke out.
Interestingly, the aforementioned regime portal is registered at the same address as the law office of Dragoslav Ljubičanović, one of the closest associates of the Belgrade VJP Chief Prosecutor Nenad Stefanović, who was recently a designated regime candidate in the last elections in the Belgrade Bar Association, writes N1. The individual who presents herself as the editor-in-chief of this obscure portal has been harassing prosecutors who were at a professional seminar on Kopaonik for several months, which is why the police eventually intervened.
In media reporting, he stands out most for defending the character and actions of Nenad Stefanović, who to this day has not responded to "Nova's" question on the basis of which he established the jurisdiction of the VJP and took over the investigation of the fire in the Special Court building, since it should be handled by the Second Basic Prosecutor's Office.
