According to the police, Manjak controlled the customs warehouses where contraband goods were passed and was also in charge of distributing money to the leaders of the “customs mafia”. According to operational data, the head of this mafia was the president of the FSS, Slaviša Kokeza! A source in the investigation claims that the arrest of Nemanja Manjko is just the continuation of an extensive investigation into long-term smuggling of cigarettes, oil, cars and luxury goods, which, it is estimated, stole the budget of the Republic of Serbia . of more than 640 million euros!
– It is suspected that Manjak worked under the direct order of Slaviša Kokeza, who, as suspected, devised the organization of a parallel customs, through which the goods were smuggled into our country without any control. Based on numerous evidence, but also on the testimony of insiders, Manjak, on Kokeza’s orders, transferred customs warehouses to individuals who falsified import and export documents and transshipped contraband goods, which were later sold in the EU and In our country. explains our source.
All proceeds from the smuggling of oil, cigarettes, vehicles and other luxury items were shared among the organizers of the “customs mafia”, of which, according to operational information, there were at least fifteen!
The day before Manjko, the former Director of Customs, Miloš Tomić, was also questioned. He, like Manjak, initially denied having participated in the smuggling, justifying that he was not such an important “player” as to have to know what was being secretly done at Customs, but was caught telling lies several times. In the end, he revealed many things to the inspectors that will aid in further investigation. Something similar happened while Manjak was being questioned, our source said.
Polygraph rejected
It should be remembered that during the investigation of the “customs mafia”, but also of the crimes of the Veljko Belivuk clan, several state officials, customs officials, policemen and criminals were interrogated, and almost all escaped the polygraph. Among them is Kokeza, who testified at SBPOK because of his connections to Belivuk. When offered to answer only one question on the polygraph, which refers to the preparation of the assassination of President Aleksandar Vučić, Kokeza refused, justifying that he was advised by the first man of the Belgrade High Court, Aleksandar Stepanović.
According to him, insiders who are already cooperating extensively with the police and prosecutors have pointed out that Slavisa Kokeza and his associates at the top of the MUP were at the head of the “customs mafia.”
– The role of the Veljko Belivuk clan, which was arrested on February 4, exactly the day that Tomić was removed from the post of Director of Customs, is not small in all history. According to the first information, Belivuk mediated between Kokeza and Manjko, on the one hand, and the owner of the customs warehouses, on the other. Given that hundreds of trucks passed through these warehouses without any police or customs control, it is very possible that there were even drugs in those loads, which was Belivuk’s main “business”. Without a doubt, a deeper investigation will shed light on all that, says our interlocutor.
Before Customs, Manjak worked as Deputy Director General at JKP “Zelenilo” in Belgrade and was close to certain structures on the Belgrade board of the SNS.
Police confirmed that questioning of state officials will continue.
