The Chief Prosecutor of the Special Prosecution, Blerim Isufaj, has stated that today the indictment was filed in the Basic Court of Prishtina against 45 defendants who are suspected of being involved in the terrorist attack of September 24 in Banjska, where the main accused is also the leader of the group Milan Radojicic who played an important role in coordination and criminal activity.

Isufaj, in a press conference, said that for the 45 defendants there is a well-founded suspicion that they have committed criminal offenses related to terrorism, criminal offenses against the constitutional order and security of the Republic of Kosovo and the financing of terrorism and money laundering.

He added that the examinations that were carried out abroad have influenced the delay in filing this indictment.

“After completing the investigations, after collecting evidence and analyzing each of them, based on well-founded suspicions, today we filed an indictment in the Basic Court in Prishtina, in the special department, against the 45 defendants involved. For the 45 defendants, there is a well-founded suspicion that they have committed criminal offenses related to terrorism, specifically criminal offenses against the constitutional order and security of the Republic of Kosovo, the financing of terrorism and money laundering… We had to wait a long time, maybe even a year, to file the indictment. Receiving the results of the examination, which were carried out abroad, was probably the main reason for the delay of this indictment”, said Isufaj.

Meanwhile, prosecutor Naim Abazi said that nearly 66 interviews were conducted with witnesses and defendants. He added that during this process, about 120 electronic devices and over 1,200 weapons and other devices that were suspected to have been used for this case were analyzed.

In addition, Abazi emphasized that hundreds of documents containing critical evidence on this issue have been secured.

Abazi emphasized that the indictment included 45 people who had different roles within the criminal ring.

He emphasized that the main accused is Milan Radojicic, who, according to him, has played an important role in the coordination and criminal activity.

“This case involves the indictment against a structured criminal group consisting of 45 people who are suspected of committing criminal offenses related to criminal offenses against the constitutional legal order, criminal offenses, committing terrorist offenses, financing terrorist offenses and laundering… We conducted nearly 66 interviews with witnesses and defendants. About 120 electronic devices and 1,266 weapons and other devices have been analyzed and we have secured hundreds of documents containing critical evidence in this case. During this investigation we encountered several significant challenges including cross-border cooperation, difficulties in tracing money laundering funds and the use of advanced technologies involved in criminal activities by the accused… The indictment includes 45 people who have had different roles within this criminal group, starting from organizing, directing terrorist activities to financing and money laundering. The main accused is also the individual with a key position, the leader of the group, Milan Radojicic, who has played an important role in the coordination and criminal activity”, said Abazi.

At the press conference, Abazi said that dozens of requests for international cooperation have been made in the framework of the investigation, including the countries of the European Union, the United States of America and other countries, for which he emphasized that important evidence has been obtained.

Isufaj was also asked about the statements of the ministers and Prime Minister Kurti, who demanded that the indictment be filed.

He added that they cannot say anything more about this stage of the procedure, taking into account the presumption of innocence./
