FALSELY INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS MEMBER OF THE SECURITY AND INFORMATION AGENCY AND TOOK MONEY FROM PEOPLE

13. March 2014.

Nis-Vranje – Yesterday, members of the Nis Police Department imposed the measure of detaining Z.C. (1954) from Kragujevac up to 48 hours, because he is suspected of having committed a criminal act of fraud.

There is a reasonable suspicion that Z.C, during the period from 2004 to 2007, led H.R. from Bujanovac astray by posing as a high-ranking official of the Security and Information Agency (SIA) of the Republic of Serbia and by promising that he would, as a high-ranking SIA official, assist with the privatization process of the “Bratstvo” DOO company in Presevo and help him purchase the company at an affordable price. The suspected person also led him into paying, during the period from 2004 to 2007 and through the PTT Serbia, a total of 2, 207, 800.00 RSD, which is the extent of damage inflicted on H.R.

On November 13, 2013, members of the Nis Police Department brought criminal charges against suspect C.Z. for the alleged criminal offence. However, he was on the run until yesterday, when he was found in Kragujevac and when he was taken over by the local police.

Since the Basic Public Prosecutor in Nis transferred the case to the Municipal Public Prosecutor's Office in Vranje, the suspect Z.C. was transported from Kragujevac and delivered to the Police Department in Vranje.
