Veselin Milić denies charges in Belgrade restaurant murder case

Veselin Milić Belgrade Police Aleksandar Nešović Saša Vuković Senjak murder

Former Belgrade Police Chief Veselin Milić appeared before the First Basic Court in Belgrade to plead not guilty to charges of failing to report a crime and falsifying official documents. The charges stem from the May 12 murder of Aleksandar Nešović, whose body was discovered in a barrel in Inđija.

Prosecutors allege that Milić failed to report the murder despite being informed by the restaurant owner and omitted crucial details from his official notes. Specifically, the indictment claims he failed to disclose his acquaintance with the suspect, Saša Vuković, and that he had personally invited both the victim and the suspect to the restaurant on the day of the killing.

Milić’s defense attorney, Nemanja Vasiljević, has contested the legality of the evidence, claiming that certain materials were improperly gathered by colleagues who are currently under investigation themselves. The defense argues that the proceedings are a result of professional misconduct by other police officials.
