According to the prosecution's statement, it is suspected that during 2025 D.K. used his position to enable the implementation of public procurement in which the bidder was chosen in advance, and the tender documentation was adapted to that particular company.
After the procedure was completed, the suspect signed a contract with the selected bidder on the basis of which over 13 million dinars were paid to the company, although false documents were attached to the offer as proof of the fulfillment of the procurement conditions.
The suspect will spend up to 48 hours in police custody after which he will be brought to the Special Department for Suppression of Corruption in Novi Sad along with a criminal complaint.
The prosecutor's office stated that they continue the proactive investigation and collection of evidence about the misuse of public funds, with an appeal to all state bodies, especially the police, to provide full contribution and cooperation in shedding light on corruption among public office holders at all levels.
