Informer's Smoke Bombs: "Prosecuting Octopus" and "white device" on canopy

TV Informer campaigns day after day with conspiracy theories. After that Dragan J. Vučićević presented "exclusive evidence" about the "strange white device" on the canopy tensioner which allegedly has to do with the collapse of the entire structure, the tabloid interlocutors are now switching to the prosecutors, as part of the old narrative of prosecutorial coup d'état.

Thus, in a guest appearance on TV Informer, Rajko Kapelan from Centra za društvenu stabilnost, an organization that reports protests against blockades across Serbia on behalf of SNS, reports that prosecutor Slobodan Josimović deliberately issued an order to remove all evidence from the accident site after the fall of the canopy - including the mysterious white device. The show is announced with the catchphrase "Prosecution hides evidence of canopy fall".

"No one knew about this strange device except for the prosecutors who tried to hide it," says Capelan.

As well as that there is "a lot of playing in the fog" in the middle, and that on November 1, 2024, it was already decided that corruption and Aleksandar Vučić were to blame for the fall of the canopy. Immediately, he adds, the hunt for his, the president's, head began.

"As time passes, new evidence is discovered. We ordinary citizens, who are not experts on the subject, discover various things," said Capelan and added that in Serbia there is an "octopus in the judicial bodies that works for the head of the state".

Waste gravel

At the same time, the president of the Subština Committee for Justice, State Administration and Local Self-Government, progressive Uglješa Mrdić, published some new documents. He claims that, according to the police report submitted to the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad, passengers repeatedly reported to the ticket office workers in the morning hours of November 1 that small gravel and parts of the structure were falling from the roof of the building, above the concrete canopy of the railway station.

"According to the report, the cashiers immediately informed Veselin Simović, head of the section of AD 'Infrastructure of Railways of Serbia'" in Novi Sad. Simović came out briefly to 'get an insight into the situation', but - he did nothing. After that, the ticket office workers didn't even report to him anymore because they saw that there was no reaction," adds the Informer. "This clearly shows that the tragedy at the train station could have been prevented if Chief Simović had reacted and closed the entrance until it was investigated what was going on."

However, the Informer concludes that prosecutor Slobodan Josimović from the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad neither tried to establish the truth, nor to investigate why Simović did not react.

"Why? Maybe because Simović's superior was the former executive director of 'Infrastructure' Milutin Milošević - a man close to Mladen Nenadić," the tabloid writes. "Everything could have been easily determined by reviewing the ticket sales system and surveillance cameras that morning in Belgrade and Novi Sad. If he had done that, it would have been shown that Simović could have prevented the tragedy."

Who is in the prosecution octopus

Mihajlo Janjić, who was introduced as an analyst, explained who forms the prosecutor's octopus. He referred to Đura Raca, a retired Novi Sad engineer and professor of physics, who recently passed away, and whose daughter was killed in a falling canopy.

"Mr. Raca said something about all this - why didn't prosecutor Josimović deal with all those issues? He already transferred the whole case to the Prosecution for Organized Crime and the evidence was put in a drawer. We expect an investigation to be conducted and to say if there was a (mysterious white) device," added Janjić, who also hinted at how Josimović held a forum with Dink Gruhonjić.

The story of Marko Nenadić, the prosecutor for organized crime, came up again sat in a cafe with basketball player Dejan Bodirog, rector of the University of Belgrade Vladan Đokić, vice-rector Nebojš Bojović, who is also the former president of the Serbian Railway Infrastructure Assembly, who held that position at the time of the fall of the canopy and resigned after it fell. Milutin Milošević, executive director of the Serbian Railway Infrastructure, was also present.

"The evidence is in their hands," Janjić concluded.
