According to the overturned verdict, Ćuruvija was assassinated by N. Н. expensive, and that the DBs had prepared the “ground” for it.
Radomir Markovic, the then head of the Department of State Security, Milan Radonjic, the then head of the Belgrade DB center, and a DB reserve staff member were sentenced to a total of 100 years in prison for participating in the murder of Curuvija, which took place on April 11, 1999. Miroslav Kurak and DB operative Ratko Romić.
The Court of Appeals ordered the new trial of the accused before the Belgrade Special Court.
In a detailed explanation of the decision, which was published on its website, the Court of Appeals indicated that the appeals were founded, indicating that the court of first instance violated “the objective and subjective identity of the accusation and exceeded the prosecution, “thereby significantly violating the criminal process.
In other words, as recalled on appeal, the prosecutor maintained his claims from the accusation until the end of the trial, while the court of first instance subsequently changed the factual description of the accusation, adding certain facts and circumstances that were not contained in the accusation.
In this way, the accused were found guilty of new facts and actions for which they were not accused and for which no evidence was presented during the process, says the Court of Appeals, noting that it refers mainly to the introduction of “NN persons “in the verdict. in the judgment of the court of first instance, he participated in the commission of the crime together with the accused as the direct author.
Furthermore, the Court of Appeals criticizes the Special for adding changes to the facts of the prosecution by adding new actions in the verdict, for which Radonjić, Kurak and Romić were not charged.
With the introduction of N. Н. Faces incomprehensible judgments
At the same time, as the Court of Appeals pointed out, the overturned verdict does not establish any evidence from which the court of first instance, with undoubted certainty, determined the presence of another person in the place, the direct executor, or based on to what test Н. Н. the person settled on the murder of Ćuruvija.
“At the same time, by introducing NN persons in the factual description of the crime, in several places, in different segments, the pronouncement of the verdict became incomprehensible, because at first it is not clear whether in this case it is a NN person or in the case of several NN people, the same NN person is the ordering party, the person with whom the defendants reach a preliminary agreement, and also the direct author of the criminal offense, or are these different NN people ”, he said.
That is, instead of Miroslav Kurak, who is mentioned in the indictment as the direct perpetrator of the murder, he was not mentioned as such in the overturned verdict, but by an unknown person (NN), whose identity has not been established.
Contrary to the verdict, the prosecution claims that Ćuruvija was killed by Miroslav Kurak on April 11, 1999, and that his accomplice was Ratko Romić, who hit golpeuruvija’s friend, Branka Prpa, on the head with a pistol.
According to the indictment, Curuvija was assassinated for “public appearances in the country and abroad and criticism of the political authorities, the ability to influence public opinion and the actions of social opposition forces, in order to preserve the existing government. “.
He was assassinated on April 11, 1999 at Easter, in the courtyard in front of the building’s entrance, where the marketing services of the “Daily Telegraph” were located, and Branka Prpa was with him at the time.
