Politician: Cover-up attempted in murder case linked to ex-Belgrade police chief

An attempt was made to conceal a murder case linked to Veselin Milić, the then-head of Belgrade police, according to Serbian MP Jelena Jerinić. Jerinić, a member of the parliamentary committee for defense and internal affairs, stated that after the initial cover-up failed, authorities moved to relativize the incident.

Jerinić did not provide specific details about the murder or the circumstances under which Milić was connected to it. Her comments suggest a potential abuse of power or obstruction of justice within the police force. The case, as described by Jerinić, points to a deliberate effort to manage public perception and legal proceedings surrounding a serious crime.

The politician's statement implies a lack of transparency and accountability, raising questions about the integrity of the investigation and the handling of high-profile cases in Serbia. The focus on "relativization" suggests an attempt to minimize the severity of the alleged crime or the involvement of the police chief.

In the case of the murder in Senjak, with which Veselin Milić, the then-head of Belgrade police, is connected, there was initially a desire to cover it up, and when that did not succeed, then relativization began.
