While the incident took place on the sidewalk in front of the gambling shop, with a large number of eyewitnesses, and the perpetrator filmed on camera and his identity known early on, the investigation did not progress much until the video appeared. on the Internet, where it caused anger and disgust. public, after which the suspect was identified, but was also beyond the reach of the competent authorities, as he allegedly fled to Montenegro.

Danas interlocutors are convinced that the police would have kept silent about the event if the recording had not been leaked to the public, and that by not reacting and slowing down the investigation, the MUP actually allowed the suspect to escape, due to business ties. and politicians from Kontić with the ruling SNS.

– Police did not launch an investigation for 19 days, Kontić left the country at a time when a PCR test is required to go to Montenegro, and it is not available to the prosecution, and it all happened in the center of Novi Sad, opposite to the cameras, in front of a crowd. Three days ago, the police director and the head of the Novi Sad Police Department informed the public that the police “conducted a first-rate professional investigation”, and they saw no problem in the fact that they initiated the investigation and search. just 20 days after the fact. fled to another country. And that someone say now that it is not a question of connection with the government, said to Danas Miroslav Parović of the Movement for the Freedom of the People, who was the first to share the aforementioned video on social networks.

As he himself says, his intention was not “to start an investigation” or to be “an investigator, a prosecutor or a policeman”, but to show the public that we live in a country where people can break their hands in the street, but also where gangs are connected in various ways. they can beat and beat the authorities, without consequences. “

– However, apparently chasing the fox, I expelled the wolf, judging by the reactions of the authorities that were immediately sent to the regime’s televisions to attack. It became clear that in this case there was no question of covering up and covering up a serious crime. The question arises of how much of this kind the police are hiding and what they and the prosecution are doing, asks Parović.

According to him, the same video was owned by the police, but only after the stormy reaction of the shocked people and the public pressure on the institutions, the police director, Vladimir Rebić, addressed them and mentioned that “some politicians They “” ruin and jeopardize the investigation “by telling lies and” making it happen. ” “And that the police had knowledge of the fact from the beginning, since the investigation began.

Strong attacks on Parović due to the shared video came a day later from Happy TV, where the ruling SNS official, Nebojsa Bakarec, accused Dragan Đilas of “building a romance”.

However, the vice president of the SAA, Marinika Tepic, wrote on her Twitter account that the Ministry of the Interior had only recently issued a court order against the suspect, which “let him escape for 19 days”, due to, she claims, obvious commercial and political ties to the ruling structure.

– The Ministry of the Interior has just announced the search for Ivan Kontić for the brutal beating in Novi Sad on August 24, and thus gave him 19 days to escape, because IM is Kontić, first the director of JU-KRIJKOS, whose owner is Sasa Marcheta, owner of MaxBet -a. He’s also the owner of the shell company Clean 777, Tepic wrote, along with a posted photo of an APR data review.

Lawyer Vladimir Gajić says on behalf of Danas that there is no doubt that the police immediately learned of the brutal beating, due to the compulsory procedure, according to which every citizen who appears with such injuries is informed by the police or the police patrol. sitting guard at emergency centers. hospitals to monitor these patients.

– The fact that there is a situation in which nothing is known about that fact without the media being informed about such a horrible event, and that the police are reacting only now, with some explanations that they have allegedly been two weeks conducting an investigation, and we probably know the exact information that the alleged perpetrator is already on the run, and possibly not in Serbia, given that he is a Montenegrin citizen, can only lead us to the conclusion that he has protection from the police, says Gajuć.

He adds that “this is not a miracle in Serbia”, and that the betting houses are under the full control of the ruling regime. When asked why the family of the beaten young man has not reacted so far, Gajić replied that it is a matter of fear.

– They did not react because they have a terrible fear, that is the most understandable to me, because he knows who his opponent is and how powerful he is, they probably threatened, considering that he is aware of the country in which he lives, I could assume it was because of him . It is better to remain silent than to suffer even more drastically than in this physical confrontation. Ordinary citizens don’t feel they have any security and protection from the state, so this is the only way to react, Gajić concludes.

Patient in home treatment

Two days after the video was published, KBC Vojvodina also announced that the patient MM (28) was admitted to that institution on August 24, from where he was discharged for home treatment after the indicated help. Meanwhile, the false news spread online that the endangered young man died, which the Clinical Center immediately denied.
