Prosecutor: Progress made in organ trade case

War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic says great progress has been made in the investigation into human organ trade in Kosovo that involved kidnapped Serbs. He told daily Blic that his office had many contacts with people who had information about the case. Prosecutor: Progress made in organ trade case "We are working in Serbia and abroad. We are waiting for the final legal framework and to see if we are going to talk only to EULEX or to them and UN members," Vukcevic pointed out, stressing that it would be best if a UN member were on the investigating team. He stated that his office had started 58 financial investigations when it comes to seizing property gained through war profiteering, underscoring that it was one of his office's priorities. “When it comes to the people who helped hide Hague Tribunal indictee Ratko Mladic, the evidence is still being collected,” the prosecutor noted, adding that 14 members of the military had been questioned and that the police was collecting information on another 11 people at his office's request. Commenting on the Jackals case, he said the testimony given by Zoran Raskovic about killings of women and children, rape and abuse committed by the unit's members in the village of Cuska in Kosovo in 1999 was an "atomic bomb." The war crimes prosecutor revealed that the most recent threats to him and his deputy had come from Australia and that both were attacked once the trial had started.
