Belgrade Prosecutors Drop Charges Against Officers in Murder Case

The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade has dismissed a criminal complaint filed against three police officers who were part of the security detail for Veselin Milić, the former head of the Belgrade police. The officers, identified as B.M., S.S., and P.P., were initially suspected of "failure to report a criminal offense and perpetrator" and "aiding a perpetrator after the commission of a criminal offense."

However, the prosecution stated that there are no grounds to suspect that the officers committed any offenses that are prosecuted ex officio. During the investigation into the murder of Aleksandar Nešović, also known as "Baja," on May 12, witness statements and collected evidence indicated that the three officers were not at the scene of the crime when it was committed.

The prosecution's decision was based on a reconstruction of the movements of Nešović's vehicle, Milić's vehicle, and the vehicles of the three officers. Security camera footage from Nešović's garage showed his black BMW X7 leaving at 10:45 PM and again at 11:08 PM on May 12, 2026. Later, at 11:09 PM, official vehicles, a black BMW 5 and a white Fiat Tipo, were seen heading towards Užička Street.

Further analysis of cameras at Veselin Milić's residence showed the black BMW 5 passing through a ramp at 11:15:40 PM. The vehicle entered the garage at 11:16:20 PM, with P.P. exiting first, followed by S.S., and then Milić himself at 11:17 PM. The prosecution also reviewed mobile phone base station data and communication logs, which reportedly showed that the phone used by officer B.M. was registered within the relevant timeframe on May 12, 2026.
