  • Saša Vuković, suspected of shooting Aleksandar Nešović, has been questioned by the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade.
  • His lawyer stated that Vuković decided to "clarify everything he can" regarding the event to prevent further speculation and establish the material truth.
  • The investigation into Nešović's murder has been marked by ambiguities, and Vuković is also implicated in a separate shooting incident.

Saša Vuković, known as Boske and suspected of shooting Aleksandar Nešović, has completed several hours of questioning over two days at the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade. His lawyer, Ivan Simić, stated that Vuković chose to cooperate fully to "clarify everything he can" about the incident.

Simić emphasized that Vuković's decision to testify stems from his trust in the judicial system and a desire to put an end to speculation. "He decided to come out and present his defense and to fully clarify everything he can regarding this event precisely for the purpose of putting a stop to any further speculation and, above all, to establish the material truth in this proceeding," Simić told Insajder.

While the specifics of Vuković's statement remain under seal, his lawyer confirmed that his client answered all questions posed by the prosecutors. Simić declined to specify whether Vuković admitted guilt or denied the charges, stating only that his client "fully presented everything within his knowledge to shed light on all circumstances of this criminal offense."

Vuković is considered the direct perpetrator in the Senjak murder case, an investigation that has been complicated by numerous uncertainties and contradictions. Authorities recently arrested another individual suspected of "preparing the ground or even shooting Nešović." Lawyer Simić anticipates that the investigation will lead to an indictment. Vuković is also mentioned in connection with a shooting incident at the Stek and vajn bar restaurant last November, where he allegedly fired at Miloš Nilović. Four members of Belgrade's police intervention unit were arrested in June for failing to report and concealing that shooting.
