Criticism justified, work done lightly

Ćalović Marković

The report of European experts on amendments to the Law on Confiscation of Proceeds from Crime, parts of which were published yesterday by Pobjeda, has showed that the criticisms expressed at the public debate on the draft were justified, and that the work was not taken seriously enough, MANS Executive Director Vanja Calovic Markovic and lawyer Veselin Radulovic say.

The report states that for the confiscation procedure without a previous conviction, the appropriate authority is entrusted to a completely new actor – the protector of property and legal interests – who has never represented the state in civil proceedings or has experience in criminal proceedings and financial investigations. Radulovic and Calovic Markovic emphasized this as one of the main objections.
