Manchester United Nemanja Vidic, formerly of Red Star, has testified in Belgrade at the trial of three former Red Star FC officials. After giving testimony yesterday about his transfer from Red Star to Spartak Moscow, which lasted 40 minutes, Vidic did not want to speak to the press. Man Utd. star testifies in Red Star bung case Dragan Dzajic and Milos Marinkovic are suspected of taking an illegal EUR 2mn bung from Vidic’s transfer. The contract for Vidic’s transfer from Red Star to Spartak states that the value of the transfer was EUR 5mn. However, it was subsequently established in court that the value of the transfer had actually been closer to EUR 7mn, and charges were filed against Dzajic and Marinkovic for illegally embezzling EUR 2mn. Vidic’s only comment was that he was “sorry because of everything and about the fact that Dragan Dzajic is in custody,” but that he could not comment any further. Dzajic’s legal counsel Zdenko Tomanovic claims that Vidic’s testimony in no way contradicts anything that his client has said. Dzajic, Marinkovic, and Vladimir Cvetkovic were arrested on February 5 and have been in custody ever since. Their lawyers claim that not a single witness has been questioned in the case in the past month. Belgrade District Court spokeswoman Ivana Ramic says that there have been no intentional delays, adding that the case is very specific, that the investigation has been expanded on several occasions, and that the case has not yet been seen by the judge due to complications in the Supreme Court, adding that there have also been adjournments because of bomb threats. The former Red Star officials were initially arrested on suspicion of embezzling DM 5.1mn from the transfer of Goran Drulic to Real Zaragoza. The investigation was then widened because of suspicions that a EUR 3.5mn bung had also been taken from the transfer of Zoran Njegus to Atletico Madrid, and EUR 1.1mn for the sale of Perica Ognjenovic to Real Madrid. Cvetkovic and Marinkovic are on remand at Belgrade Central Prison, while Dzajic was transferred to the Military Medical Academy on April 24 due to illness. The investigation will continue on June 11.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
