Police misconduct investigation in Skopje
Overview
Following an incident on October 7 in Skopje, the Ministry of Internal Affairs suspended six police officers for the excessive use of force against two young men. An internal investigation, aided by video footage and witness statements, identified irregularities in the officers' conduct, including physical force that caused bodily injuries.
While initial police reports claimed the men, aged 21 and 23, had taken a service weapon, the victims alleged that the pistol entered their vehicle after police broke a window and that officers fired shots toward them. Prosecutors have ordered forensic medical examinations as legal proceedings continue.
