The judge of the Criminal Department of the First Court of First Instance of Belgrade, Zorica Avramović, who carried out the proceedings against Aleksandar Mitrović, son of Pink TV owner Željko Mitrović, was promoted to judge of the Belgrade High Court, writes Danas.
The document indicates that the decision was made by the Superior Council of the Judiciary in the session held on December 11. Avramović is one of the nine judges elected from the basic courts to the Belgrade High Court in the last session.
As Danas reminds us, in July 2013 Aleksandar Mitrović, driving above the permitted speed, hit a car and killed the minor Andrea Bojanić.
In July 2019, Mitrović was sentenced in the first instance to 11 months in prison for a serious act against road safety and another six months for failure to provide assistance. Judge Avramović imposed a single sentence of 12 months of house arrest, twice less than the sentence requested by the prosecution. Mitrovic was also banned from using the car for a year.
The part of the verdict relating to the serious act against road safety was overturned by the Court of Appeals in January this year. Among other things, it was noted that despite numerous expert reports, it was unclear how fast Mitrovic was moving.
As for the part of the first instance verdict that refers to the criminal act of not providing assistance to the injured person, it was modified due to absolute obsolescence.
In October this year, Judge Avramović again sentenced Aleksandar Mitrović to 11 months of house arrest for a serious act against road safety, as well as a one-year ban on driving a vehicle, which comes into effect after serving sentence.
A final verdict is still pending, recalls the Danas newspaper.
