TELEGRAF REVEALS WHO WAS ARRESTED IN BELGRADE: UKP also seized an entire arsenal of weapons
Operatives of the Criminal Police Directorate (UKP) carried out an operation that resulted in the arrest of Ismail Sabrija (52) from Belgrade. An entire illegal arsenal of weapons, ammunition, and suspicious Dutch documents were found in his family home, Telegraf.rs has learned.
Members of the UKP and the Service for the Fight against Organized Crime (SBPOK) participated in this extensive operation, in cooperation with the Criminal Intelligence Service, the Department for Special Actions of the Belgrade police, by order of the Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office and in cooperation with the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade.
Guns and 300 bullets seized
During a detailed search of the apartment and auxiliary premises belonging to the suspect, members of the UKP and other operatives were surprised by the amount of equipment and weapons discovered. They seized:
An automatic Skorpion pistol in a leather military holster
4 pistols and 2 revolvers
A total of 293 pieces of ammunition of various calibers (including 26 pieces of rifle ammunition)
Two pistol covers (firearm parts) and multiple frames
KNIT GLOVE MYSTERY: Dutch documents
A special mystery in the whole case is the discovery of valid foreign documents. Namely, members of the UKP found an identity card and a driver's license issued by the Netherlands inside a knitted glove, in which one of the revolvers was also stashed.
The documents are in the name of Leusink Hendrik, born February 26, 2004. UKP investigators and the competent prosecutor's office are currently checking how the documents came into the possession of the suspect and whether there is a connection with foreign criminal groups.
He faces several years in prison
By order of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, Ismail Sabrija is now in police detention that can last up to 48 hours. On October 15, he will be brought before the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade for questioning, on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of unauthorized production, possession, carrying and trafficking of weapons and explosive substances from Article 348, Paragraph 2, in connection with Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia.
The investigation is ongoing, and further expert examination will determine whether any of the weapons found were used in the commission of other crimes.
