Under explicit orders from the Higher Court in Belgrade, operatives from the Criminal Police Directorate (UKP) have executed coordinated raids on the private residence and official headquarters of Veselin Milić, the disgraced former Chief of the Belgrade Police Department.
The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office (VJT) in Belgrade confirmed that state prosecutors were physically present to oversee the collection of evidence during the operations, marking a significant escalation in the highly sensitive criminal probe.
1. The Legal Charges: Cover-Ups and Institutional Complicity
Milić is a primary target in a sprawling, multi-jurisdictional investigation targeting 11 high-profile suspects tied to the execution of Aleksandar Nešović (alias “Baja”) on May 12, 2026.

While the primary trigger for the raids is the destruction of forensic evidence to conceal an aggravated murder, the VJT clarified that the legal charges are systematically leveled against the former police chief for abusing his command to actively mask the underworld assassination.
2. The Crime Scene and Tampering Protocols
The ongoing investigation has pieced together a shocking timeline of events that took place inside “Restoran 27” in Belgrade’s elite Senjak neighborhood:
- The Execution: On May 12, 2026, Saša Vuković (known as “Boske”) allegedly fired the fatal shots that killed Aleksandar Nešović.
- The Presence of Law Enforcement: The execution reportedly occurred in the direct presence of Belgrade’s top police official, Veselin Milić.
- Active Forensic Sabotage: Instead of securing the crime scene, Milić, alongside three heavily armed active-duty police officers from his personal security detail, allegedly took control of the venue to surgically systematically dismantle, clean, and eliminate all immediate blood splatter, shell casings, and forensic markers before regional homicide teams could be legally notified.
3. Body Recovery and Detention Status
The cover-up expanded beyond the restaurant walls. Following a week-long missing person investigation, forensic teams guided by the VJT discovered Nešović’s body on May 21, 2026. The victim had been stuffed inside a industrial barrel and buried at a secluded location within the Inđija municipality in Vojvodina.
| Case Metrics | Operational Facts & Investigative Standings |
| Total Detainees | 11 Individuals, including the shooter, restaurant staff, logistics coordinators, and police personnel. |
| Milić’s Legal Defense | Leaked transcripts show Milić claims he left the venue 15 minutes before the first shot was fired and maintained a “good relationship” with the victim. |
| Judicial Status | All 11 suspects, including Milić, have been denied bail and remain remanded in high-security pretrial detention. |
The decision by the Higher Court to greenlight raids on the active offices of the Belgrade Police Directorate underscores the gravity of the political crisis, as judicial watchdogs attempt to seize digital servers, burner phones, and logbooks to map out the exact level of collusion between active police leadership and regional organized crime syndicates.
