The trial in that case has not been scheduled yet. Tomic has been in custody since he was arrested on October 2, 2011. He and a group of his associates are charged with abuse of office from June 2004 until December 2008 and they could get up to 12 years in prison. B92’s investigative program Insajder (Insider) series dubbed “Theft of century”, which was aired in early 2011, revealed all the abuses in the Kolubara mines. The program discovered that this was a strategically important state-owned company. About a half of all electricity in Serbia is produced thanks to the coal produced in the mine but individuals had been using it for years for personal gain. Insajder also discovered that money had been transferred to private accounts in several ways. After a several month-long investigation, the B92 investigative program revealed that more than EUR 130mn was transferred to private accounts through the lease of machines from privately-owned companies. Based on the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), the program obtained documents which showed that the expenditures had drastically increased since 2006 and the key reason for it was the fact that the Kolubara company was paying for the machines even when they were not used. Tomic, a Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) official, was running the company at the time. A view of Kolubara strip mines (Beta, file) B92 Tanjug
