Former Interior Minister Jankuloska sentenced to six years in prison


Former minister of interior Gordana Jankuloska has been sentenced to six years in prison in the case dubbed “Tank” over abuse of office regarding the procurement procedure of a new vehicle ‘Mercedes’ worth more than EUR 600,000.

Jankuloska, whose trial was separated from that of the other defendants due to her pregnancy, was not present at the delivery of the judgement.

Former prime minister Nikola Gruevski has been sentenced to two years in prison, while former head of MoI’s public procurement department Gjoko Popovski to six and a half years in the same case.

The Appellate Court has rejected Gruevski’s appeal and confirmed his prison term, while Popovski’s sentence has been reduced to four and a half years.
