The head of a criminal group suspected of several brutal murders, Veljko Belivuk, denied being a killer at a hearing two weeks ago.
Serbian media suggest that in his court hearing he spoke about his alleged relationship with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and other leaders of his Party.
Among other things, the media reported that Vucic and his associates asked for more services to control that in the stands of the Partizan team not to cheer against the president, to intimidate those who organized protests against the government, to ensure peace in the Parade of Pride, but also to influence taxi drivers to cancel protests against the transport application “CarGo”.
All of this is said to have been extracted from a transcript of Belivuk’s hearing, which was obtained from KRIK, a non-governmental, non-profit organization established to improve investigative journalism in Serbia.
Belivuk is suspected of being behind five brutal killings, a torture and drug trade, and photos of the severed and slaughtered bodies of his victims have been published by government officials on several occasions. The Belivuk clan is even considered one of the most brutal in the region.
It is also characteristic of this criminal group that they have had strong contacts in the country for years mainly in police and politics. Among other things, local media suggest that a transcript of the Belivuk prosecutor’s July 5 hearing has already been found, which could “deepen” the story further.
It shows that he first briefly stated that he was not a criminal but a “fan leader” and that he was not responsible for the killings, kidnappings and drug trafficking, but he did not want to answer the prosecutor’s questions about him. .
On his own initiative, however, he began to talk about relationships with people in power.
“I decided to tell everything beautifully about my relationship with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, the Minister of Police, Aleksandar Vulin, Vucic’s brother, friends, godparents and all other politicians who asked us for services, and now pretend that we do not know one -the other! ”.
During the nearly half-hour interrogation, he listed the various services he allegedly performed for Vucic and his men and listed the names of SNS members he met.
He also confirmed that he had maintained contact with President Vucic mainly through hooligan Alexander Vidojevic, better known as Aca Roshavi, who is a friend of the president’s son, but also that he allegedly saw Vucic personally several times.
Belivuk, among other things, told the prosecutor that he had been a member of the Serbian Progressive Party since 2011. He explained that his arrest in 2016, on suspicion of involvement in a murder in central Belgrade, had caused politicians to lose control of Partizan tribune. (abcnews)
