Prosecutor seeks at least five years in prison and 1 million dinars for Belivuk and Miljković in money-laundering case

The prosecutor in the money-laundering trial involving Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković has asked a special court in Belgrade to impose prison terms and fines on all seven defendants.

In his closing argument, prosecutor Predrag Ćetković said the prosecution had “proved beyond any doubt that all the defendants committed the criminal offences charged against them.” He requested at least five years in prison and a 1 million dinar fine for both Belivuk and Miljković.

The prosecutor sought at least three years and a 500,000 dinar fine for Bojana Belivuk. He requested at least one year and nine months in prison and a 350,000 dinar fine for Snežana Đorđević, Belivuk’s mother-in-law. Tanja Miljković, Filip Ivanovski and Ivanovski’s wife, Marija, face proposed terms of at least one year and six months, alongside fines of 300,000 dinars.

Ćetković referred to witness statements that he said supported the Organized Crime Prosecutor’s Office’s case. The prosecution alleges that the defendants bought apartments and land with money suspected to have come from criminal activity, then concealed its origin.

He said Belivuk and Miljković purchased apartments in Živka Davidovića Street in their wives’ names and paid in cash to hide the source of the funds. He also cited testimony that Vejko and Bojana Belivuk bought 1.2 million euros worth of tiles in Pančevo, with Bojana allegedly bringing money in envelopes. The prosecutor further discussed cash purchases of cars, including an armored vehicle seized from Tanja Miljković’s garage. Before the closing argument, two defense witnesses testified, including Vladimir Gagić, who said he had been friends with Miljković from 2011 to 2016.
