Serbian authorities accused \u0160ari\u0107, who\u2019s been on the run since 2009, of being a mastermind of a big Balkan drug ring.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor condensed the information from evidence, including bank slips, contracts among various firms and bogus invoices, on the scheme of money laundering that was presented before the Panel of Judges. In this way, he showed that \u0106opi\u0107 was responsible for receiving dirty money sent to a Banja Luka-based Agrocoop Export-Import, and wiring it down the road to the accounts of various companies he owned. Once the dirty money became clean, it returned to Agrocoop, and some of it was used to buy shares of the Bijeljina Sugar Factory.<\/p>\n
Ljubo Mr\u0111en, Agrocoop\u2019s director, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in prison.<\/p>\n
When the prosecutor started to present evidence seized from \u0106opi\u0107\u2019s firm Avio Rent, there was commotion in the small hall of the District Court.<\/p>\n
Among other things, \u010celi\u0107 enumerated the company\u2019s flights and the names of its clients,that included Serbian celebrities such as Jelena Karleu\u0161a and Indira Radi\u0107.<\/p>\n
\u0106opi\u0107 protested and the prosecutor decided to skip over the details.<\/p>\n
\u0106opi\u0107 had set up Avio Rent with Miodrag Mi\u0161o Dobri\u0107, executive director of Pink BH television to provide charter flight services. Pilot Drago Ni\u017eol, the second co-defendant in the case, was appointed Avio Rent\u2019s director.<\/p>\n
The defense announced that it would call \u0106opi\u0107 to the witness stand the following day.<\/p>\n
Odbrana je najavila da \u0107e na sutra\u0161njem ro\u010di\u0161tu pozvati Zorana \u0106opi\u0107a da svjedo\u010di u svoju korist, najaviv\u0161i da \u0107e njegovo svjedo\u010denje potkrijepiti materijalnim dokazima.<\/p>\n
