Investigation on money laundering: Sekulic arrested

Member of DNP Aleksandar Sekulic has been arrested yesterday within an investigation on money laundering that has been initiated by Special state prosecutor’s office in October last year. Leader of PzP Nebojsa Medojevic and businessman from Banja Luka Momir Nikolic are also included in the investigation.

Sekulic will have a hearing in Prosecutor’s office today.

In addition to Medojevic and Nikolic, the suspicious individuals are Dejan Vujisic, Zeljko Scepanovic, Gordan Konatar and Dejan and Violeta Buskovic, Milos Gvozdenovic, Zeljko Pejovic, Radovan Scekic, Vladimir Bulatovic, Iva Pavlovic, Nikola Jovanovic, Luka Radunovic and Petar Draskovic.

It is suspected that Medojevic, along with Nikolic, created a plan to launder money acquired by illegal conversion of foreign currencies, as well as illegal financing of certain political parties’ campaigns.

The plan has been for Medojevic to find members of the criminal organization that would exchange USD for EUR in order to put them in legal flows of money, after which the money acquired illegally would be paid as a donation to certain political subjects, Prosecutor’s office stated.

Medojevic had his MP immunity revoked due to these charges, but he was not reprimanded due to mandatory address of supreme state prosecutor Ivica Stankovic.
