The trial of Belivuk, Miljković and their wives for money laundering begins

They are accused of using money obtained from criminal activities to buy luxury cars, apartments and movable property.

The defendants should present their defense in detail, while at the preliminary hearing, which was closed to the public, they briefly denied guilt. Accused Filip Ivanovski came with his wife Marija Milutinov, as well as Tanja Miljković and Bojana Belivuk.

At the preliminary hearing, all the accused denied guilt, except Snežana Djordjević, who was absent from the previous trial, which is why the judge temporarily separated the proceedings in relation to her.

In addition to Miljković and Belivuk, the indictment includes Bojana Belivuk, Tanja Miljković, Filip Ivanovski, Marija Milutinov and Snežana Djordjević, for several criminal offenses of money laundering for acts committed in the period from 2015 to 2020.

The indictment charged all the defendants with the extended criminal offense of money laundering in complicity, except for Snežana Djordjević, who was charged with the criminal offense of money laundering in complicity.

They are accused of buying a large number of luxury cars and other movable property, as well as cadastral plots in Belgrade in the largest number of situations in the name of third parties, with money derived from criminal acts and criminal activity, from 2015 to the beginning of 2021. They tried to hide that the money coming from criminal activity.

Miljković and Belivuk are being prosecuted on suspicion of organizing a criminal group whose members are charged with the most serious crimes, including seven murders.

Ivanovski is accused of being a member of that criminal group.
