Prosecutor’s Office expects conviction and confiscation of defendants’ assets in the Adivit case

The prosecution expects a conviction and confiscation of the defendants’ property in the Adivic case, on reasonable suspicion of criminal association and money laundering. Public prosecutor Natasa Pop Trajkova said today that they have sufficient material and verbal evidence to prove the defendants’ guilt. Regarding the fact that Jero has accused entire families, he said it was because their accounts or companies were conducting fictitious transactions, and the investigation into SCPC President Tatjana Dimirievska said that the prosecution analyzes a number of electronic data.

Following the first hearing of the trial held in the digital courtroom at the Idrizovo Provision, Public Prosecutor Natasha Pop Trajkova said the prosecution would prove moral decomposition of AD ESM’s management system at the time when the defendants were serving their official duties and said they were not only confident.

-We will prove that in each part of the indictment that the defendants were organized in criminal association in order to commit crimes related to money laundering and other proceeds of crime. The prosecution has a number of material and verbal evidence that will be carried out during this proceeding and the prosecution is convinced that we will prove every single segment that stands out of the defendants and hope that after the presentation of the evidence, the court will make not only a conviction, but also a verdict, but also a verdict, but also a verdict, but also a verdict that How the defendants could not dispose of them, and at the same time as the state would be settled for its damages that moves in hundreds of millions of denars damage – she said.

Regarding the request to judge in the absence of former director Vasko Kovacevski, she replied that this is because there are particularly important reasons.

-According to law, when one of the defendants is unavailable to law enforcement authorities and there are particularly important reasons to judge in absentia, and in this case are the large number of defendants against whom the most severe measure is determined, and of course, given that the prosecution has sufficient material and verbal evidence, We have suggested to judge in absentia – Pop Trajkova explained.

He added that against this defendant, both in this procedure, and in another procedure in the Oyogokk, national and international arrest warrants were issued and after finding it, as he said « we hope that the MoI authorities in cooperation with its foreign partners will be requested ».

For the fact that there are entire families in the case, she said that it is because of their accounts or through the legal entities they owned in their possession of fictitious transactions.

-Anyone for whom the prosecution thinks there is sufficient evidence of a crime, is the place of the dock, regardless of its age. Some of the families of the defendants, who are accused of themselves because they were aware of the actions they took, are accused of the crime of money laundering, which means, through their accounts or through the legal entities they owned in their possession, fictitious transactions have been carried out for their ownership. For another part of the family members, the members of the families themselves, as owners or managers, participated in playing the procedure for obtaining the public procurement procedure of the additive – the prosecutor explained.

On the investigation into the chairman of the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, Tatjana Dimitroevska, the prosecutor stressed that « the investigation is ongoing » and that « it is a number of electronic data ».

-The investigation is ongoing, the public is aware that a cellphone has been seized. The data from it is extracted. It is a number of electronic data and at this stage of the procedure they are analyzed, in parallel, with the part of the already analyzed data the prosecution also takes appropriate actions. At this point I can share so much about this and thank you if you have patience, truth, it is a number of electronic data that, as I said, is subject to an extensive analysis, not only on the prosecutor’s office, but others are involved – she said.
