Former prosecutor arrested for Zemun Clan ties

Terzić was detained on suspicion of having abused the authority of his office to become a member of the Zemun Clan criminal group, tasked with influencing the duration of prison terms of some of the gang’s members.

Police also said Terzić was suspected of “orally and in writing ordering Belgrade’s 4th Municipal Court Prosecutor Biljana Radovanović and her deputies Dušan Simić and Mioljub Vitorović to suggest that the gang’s leaders, Dušan Spasojević and Mile Luković, be released from prison in 2001.”

According to the same sources, Terzić also allegedly demanded that the 2002 charges against Milorad Ulemek, former Special Operations Unit (JSO) commander, be dropped.

Ulemek was at the time detained and charged after an incident in a Belgrade night club.

Earlier, Beta quoted the state television which reported that police detained Terzić, Belgrade’s district prosecutor from February 2001 to March 25, 2003.

Terzić was recently linked in the media with the affair dating back to 2001, when members of the criminal Zemun Clan, who later conspired to assassinate Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić, were released from prison allegedly with no legal basis to the decision.

Spasojević and other Zemun Clan members were at the time jailed for a number of crimes including the 2001 kidnapping of the Delta Holding owner, Miroslav Mišković.

Spasojević and Luković were killed in a showdown with police shortly after the March 12, 2003, Đinđić assassination. Ulemek was in May sentenced to 40 years in prison for his role in the murder.
