The final verdict against Miroslav Mišković, owner of “Delta Holding”, sentenced in March 2019 to two and a half years in prison for tax evasion, will be delivered after the trial before the Court of Appeal, which is scheduled for five working days, of the January 11-15. years. This court held an appeal session in September and heard the views of the lawsuit and the defense. While he was expected to announce the final decision, the court reported that the key evidence necessary to end this case would be presented.
The opening of a hearing in the second instance procedure is not a rare case in jurisprudence in organized crime cases, and the judges decide on this step when they cannot resolve the ambiguities in another way. As Mirjana Piljić, a spokeswoman for the court, told “Politika”, the evidence to be presented at Mišković’s trial in January has yet to be announced.
When the verdict is rendered in this procedure, it will be final because the first instance verdict has already been overturned once.
During the seven days of September, the Court of Appeals discussed everything that was determined during the multi-year process, which began in December 2012, when Mišković was arrested, but the appeal eight years later obviously deemed it necessary to present some more evidence.
Under scrutiny by the Appeals Court panel is the verdict whereby Mišković, in addition to a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence, was fined eight million dinars for helping his son Marko evade taxes on the earnings of capital of highway companies 320, 3 million dinars.
In these proceedings, Mišković proved that no valid law required him to pay taxes, the non-payment of which is attributed to him, but the conviction was approved by a majority vote of the three-member panel of Judge Maja Ilić.
In the first appeal procedure, the Court of Appeals upheld the verdict that acquitted Mišković and the others of the part of the accusation related to the extraction of money from road companies in Serbia, but reversed the part of the verdict related to the tax evasion and ordered a new trial.
In the same process, Mišković’s son, Marko, was sentenced for tax evasion to one year of house arrest and a fine of 8 million dinars. Your company “Mera invest” d. about. about. the verdict, to be discussed in January, forces him to put 320 million dinars into the budget on behalf of unpaid tax liabilities.
The owner of “Nibens Group”, who participated with Mišković in the business with road companies, Milo Đurašković was sentenced to a single sentence of four years and three months in prison and a fine of 6 million dinars for tax evasion, as well as for abuse of office in the case. damage to the Kruševac lubricant factory.
The court also obliged Đurašković to pay around 142 million dinars to the budget of the Republic of Serbia on behalf of the illegal property gain obtained on the basis of the unpaid tax on the capital gain of a natural person, within the 30 days after the date the verdict became final. The other defendants received sentences ranging from eight months to three years in prison.
The trial was repeated for all by order of the Court of Appeals. In September 2017, that court reversed the first instance verdict by which Mišković and Đurašković were convicted of tax evasion and ordered a repeat trial for that crime, and Đurašković and his associates for abuses with the Lubricants Factory.
Miškovići and Đurašković, as well as four other defendants, were acquitted of the charges of abuse with highway companies by the same decision of the Court of Appeals due to lack of evidence, which is why they were originally arrested in December 2012.
After posting multi-million euro bonds and after several months in detention, they were released to defend themselves. In addition to the € 12 million bail for his release after seven months, a part of “Delta” was blocked for Mišković, but the holding continues to operate successfully.
