Public Prosecutor Slobodan Radovanovic says the arrest of Arandjelovac Municipal President Radosav Sabic proves the state’s determination to tackle corruption. Svabic, a member of the Serb Radical Party, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of abuse of office and of embezzling some EUR 500,000 of public funds. Public prosecutor applauds arrest of municipal president Radovanovic said that his arrest was proof that everyone would be treated equally under the law. “This is proof that the state is determined and ready to fight corruption and organized crime as was promised,” the prosecutor said. “I must stress that the state must be united and must work in concert. I expect the courts now to play their role in the fight, because neither the police, the prosecution, nor other state bodies will be able to triumph alone, not unless everyone is working towards the same goal,” Radovanovic said. Local Arandjelovac-based businessman Aleksandar Ciric was also arrested together with Svabic in the operation. Svabic is accused of signing a deal with Ciric’s company in 2007 for the gasification of Arandjelovac, through which he was able to embezzle public funds, while police say that he struck a similar deal with another company hired to build and equip a local nursery.
