Former President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and BIA official Marko Parezanović will be among the witnesses in the proceedings against Darko Šarić for money laundering. This is a case in which the origin of at least 20 million euros is being investigated
Former President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and Marko Parezanović from the Security and Information Agency will be called as witnesses in the opposing proceedings Darko Sarić and other defendants for laundering money obtained from the drug trade. The decision was announced by the judge who presides over the court panel, Vladan Ivanković, Insider reported.
As stated in the text, after the announcement of the decision, all the defendants left the courtroom, while their lawyers remained in it.
Sarić and the other defendants are on trial before the Special Department of the High Court in Belgrade on suspicion of having laundered at least 20 million euros obtained from the drug trade. The proceedings are being conducted due to the indictment brought back in 2010, which makes it one of the longest cases in the practice of this court department.
Šarić was sentenced to nine years in prison in the first instance in 2020. However, two years later, the Court of Appeal overturned the verdict and ordered a retrial, judging that the first-instance decision was unclear and contradictory.
When pronouncing the first verdict, the then president of the court panel, Siniša Petrović, said that it was undoubtedly established that the money Šarić had at his disposal came from the sale of cocaine and that the decision was based on a large amount of evidence.
The calling of Vučić and Parezanović as witnesses comes at a time when allegations were previously published about the contacts of certain state officials with Šarić's criminal group. In 2024, KRIK, referring to the police criminal complaint from 2022 and the analysis of messages from the Sky application, announced that the former police minister Nebojša Stefanović and BIA official Marko Parezanović were mentioned in the documents. The text states that the police did not file a criminal complaint against them, but against the members of Šarić's group. Parezanović denied that he did any favors to Sarić's clan.
