The bombs for the “Monster” case to explode after the court vacation

On August 22, after the court vacation, comes the next scheduled hearing for the “Monster” case, for the brutal murder of four boys and a fisherman seven years ago near Smilkovo Lake, and that is when the public will see the new discoveries of the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office concerning this case.
Yesterday’s hearing led to the elaboration of old evidence by reading the statements of the old witnesses, and as of August 22, the presentation of new evidence will finally start. The first of the new evidence that the Special Prosecutor’s Office will hand over to the court are the so-called “bombs” that Prime Minister Zoran Zaev has claimed will solve the case.
Special Prosecutor Fatime Fetai said that at the trial council, headed by Judge Ognen Stavrev, she will hand over all wiretapped conversations, transcripts and messages turned over by SDSM. Given that there are thousands of material evidence, Fetai warned the trial council that they will need time to examine. “If you spend each day of the court vacation listening and reading the materials, you will manage to finish the examination by August 22,” Fetai told the judges.
Assuming that judges during this period will examine the so-called “bombs”, then they will be given insight into the defense and the plaintiffs, and what exactly is being said about the killing will finally be heard by the public after August 22. However, when the public will hear the “bombs” exactly, will be decided by the trial council. Apart from “bombs”, the SPO will propose other material evidence and witnesses.
The parents and the relatives of both the victims and the defendants are waiting for the “bombs” to be released and they hope that they will clarify the case.
“We, the defense, are pleased that the Special Public Prosecutor’s Office has finally announced the “bombs” as part of the evidence procedure. We, as the defense, hope that these “bombs” will help us prove what we have said so far, that these defendants are not the perpetrators,” said lawyer Naser Raufi.
The legal representative of some of the murdered boys’ parents, Dafinka Ivanovska appealed for scheduling the hearings more frequently after the court vacation and take the pain of the parents into account.
Dragan Ivanovski took the stand as the last one of the old witnesses. Although the police couldn’t find Ivanovski at his address, he voluntarily appeared in court after hearing that the police had looked for him. The police looked for him at his old address, although he had changed his home address in his ID more than a year and a half ago, and the house where he used to live had been sold. “No one looked for me, I came by myself,” Ivanovski said. The public found his testimony quite humorous. When the court asked Ivanovski how he came to testify if no one looked for him at his home, Ivanovski responded to the court “I came by car,” and then clarified that his brother told him that he was seeking to appear as a witness in court. Ivanovski was summoned as a defense witness because he met one of the defendants Fejzi Aziri at a public event for granting solutions for legalization. Since the then Minister of Transport and Communications Mile Janakieski was late for two, three hours at the event, Ivanovski had the opportunity to talk with Fejzi Aziri. The witness did not say anything else that might be significant for the murder case. According to Ivanovska, the fact that the witness came by himself, and the police could not find him, shows the non-functioning of the legal system.
A new moment in the case announced by the court is that at the depot in the police, a total of 31 phones were found that were seized during the big arrests that occurred after the murder on May 1, All these phones have been handed over to the Ministry of Interior to be examined with the new, more sophisticated software that the ministry now has.
Prosecutor Fetai has already announced that the prosecution will propose thousands of footage and evidence, both those that are considered important, as well as those that are seen as less important. What she guarantees is that there will be an appropriate legal qualification for each person involved in that event.
For the five-time murder in this case, dubbed “Monster” Alil Demiri, Afrim Ismailovic, Agim Ismailovic, Fejzi Aziri, Haki Aziri and Sami Ljuta were convicted to life in prison. Only the fifth accused Sejdi Rami was acquitted due to lack of solid evidence. The Supreme Court suspended all prison sentences, released the convicted Agim Ismailovic, Haki Aziri, Sami Ljuta and Fejzi Aziri, and ordered precautionary measures. Alil Demiri and Afrim Ismailovich are still at large and inaccessible to the court, and international arrest warrants have been issued for them.
The trial that once ended with life in prison for the defendants has been reopened before new judges and prosecutors from the SPO. On April 12, 2012, four high school graduates Filip Slavkovski, Aleksandar Nakjevski, Cvetancho Acevski, Kire Trichkovski and fisherman Borche Stevkovski were brutally murdered at the Smilkovo Lake. The motive for the murder remains unknown.

The court looked for Janakieski at his home, after ordering detention

The hearing for the so-called “slaps” in the Municipality of Centar was postponed because former Minister of Transport and Communications Mile Janakieski, who was charged in this case, was not escorted by the police from the Shutka prison.
The order for Janakieski was sent for him to be escorted to court from house arrest, but in the meantime he ended up in the Shutka prison. Although a judge at a preliminary procedure ordered detention for janakieski, however, the order has been written before and according to it, Janakieski was supposed to be escorted from his home.
Janakieski was again arrested last Friday for abuse of office and misconduct.
