Actor and director Dragan Bjelogrlić was sentenced to six months' probation for violent behavior, according to the lawsuit of director Predrag Gaga Antonijević, due to an incident at the "Ambassador" hotel in Niš in 2021, when a physical conflict occurred between them.
Actor and director Dragan Bjelogrlic he was sentenced on Friday before the First Basic Court in Belgrade to six months' probation, with a two-year probationary period, for violent behavior, according to the director's complaint Predrag Gage Antonijević.
Antonijević sued Bjelogrlić for an incident at the "Ambassador" hotel in Niš in 2021, when a physical conflict occurred between them.
Antonijević filed a lawsuit for violent behavior, and for compensation he demanded a total of 900.000 dinars in monetary compensation, of which 300.000 for the fear suffered, 300.000 for inflicted physical injuries and another 300.000 dinars for damage to reputation and honor, writes Danas.
At the closing arguments last week, Bjelogrlić's lawyers requested an acquittal for the fight that took place during the "Film Encounters" in Niš and once again pointed out that the evidence, in the form of footage from the hotel's surveillance cameras, had been manipulated and that the footage in which the court was had insight mounted.
"Media tyranny"
At the previous hearings, it was disputed whether Bjelogrlić struck the first blow with an open or closed fist, and Antonijević's lawyer said that the medical examination showed that the injury suffered by the victim could be caused by both a "fist" and a "slap."
"After three years and two months of media tyranny, in which I was declared guilty on the first day by all the state media, government representatives and even the president himself, the moment has come for the only competent institution to declare my eventual guilt. Court of the Republic of Serbia", said Bjelogrlić in his closing speech last week.
He added that he is a man who believes in justice.
"Both God's and human's. The less justice there is, the more I believe in its necessity. With that faith I stepped into this courtroom. I stand here with that faith. Although I know from the beginning, like everyone in this courtroom, and probably in all of Serbia, they know from the beginning, that somehow it was the other way around, and that Antonijević did the same thing to me that I did to him that night in Nis, this kind of court the procedure would never have happened," Bjelogrlić said.
Incomplete video material
He also stated that "although from the first day of the trial we were faced with incomplete video material from the Ambassador Hotel in Nis, two minutes were missing and the footage from one of the four cameras was not submitted."
"It's interesting that those two minutes were missing when the conflict started and when the injured party threw me the first time." It's really hard to believe that out of four hours of continuous video material, those two minutes are accidentally missing. And on both cameras. Just those two minutes. I had the opportunity to see those two minutes during the investigative procedure in Nis," Bjelogrlić said, among other things, in his closing speech last week.
Only the court can determine who caused injuries to whom, said lawyer Edvin S. Prelić, reacting to the claims of the Kreni-promeni movement that Aelksandar Šapić caused serious physical injuries to councilor Tatjana Mićić
