Serbian court received forged documents from former head of internal security of SBU
The State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) has brought suspicion against the former head of internal security of the SBU for organizing the forgery of documents for a Serbian court in order to avoid criminal liability.
During the investigation, it was established that on June 7, 2022, the former official tried to leave Serbia for North Macedonia through the Presevo border checkpoint. The ex-official hid property and money from customs control.
They found 592,990 euros, 120,102 dollars and two emeralds on him.
“He was driving a BMW X6 PMV, which formally belongs to his wife. This property and funds were obtained by criminal means when he worked as director of the State Enterprise “Center for Organizational, Technical and Information Support for Management of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone” and in the SBU,” the statement says.
He was detained by Serbian law enforcement officers for violating Art. 86 of the Law of Serbia “On the Prevention of Money Laundering” and Art. 12 of the Law of Serbia “On Customs Affairs”.
To avoid punishment, the ex-official decided to forge documents. He wanted to create the impression among Serbian law enforcement officers that the money and property were of legal origin.
He conspired with other people and organized the forgery of official documents. In particular, these were a loan agreement between his father and a third party, as well as the act of providing funds for the agreement. Having received a package of forged documents from his accomplices, he handed them over to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Department of the High Court in Nis.
However, the cooperation of SBI investigators, prosecutors and Serbian law enforcement officers made it possible to expose the forgery of these documents. They were handed over to the Serbian court.
