The Organized Crime Prosecution believes that a Zemun Clan member is implicating Nebojsa Covic in the Djindjic murder in order to become collaborating witness. The statements made by Milos Simovic - brought up by the lawyer of the mother of Zoran Djindjic on Monday - have previously been heard during the trial, Belgrade-based daily Blic is quoting the prosecution. "Zemun gangster trying to become collaborating witness" The article says that another Zemun gangster. who became collaborating witness - Dejan Milenkovic aka Bagzi - mentioned Covic by name during the trial of those accused of conspiring to kill Djindjic, and said that gang leader Dusan Spasojevic mentioned him. Spasojevic was killed by police shortly after the March 2003 assassination. "The impression is that the Simovic brothers have been using that information, trying to exploit it in order to become collaborating witnesses," the newspaper quoted its source from the prosecution. Meanwhile Covic, who served as PM Djindjic's deputy in the government formed in early 2001, spoke for B92 to reject the accusation that he ordered the killing as "nonsense". Simovic, who was on the run since 2003, but was tried in absentia and sentenced to 30 years in prison, was arrested last year. He was granted a retrial, and told a court in Belgrade last week that he would speak about "the details of the background of the assassination" in a separate trial, but refused to do so during the retrial.
