Former agriculture minister indicted



he Organized Crime Prosecution told B92 that Organized Crime Prosecutor Miljko Radisavljević would soon address the public.

Dragin was arrested together CES Mecon owner Zvonimir Nikezić and another eight persons on November 24, 2012 on suspicion of illegal sale of artificial fertilizers.

The suspects incurred damages worth EUR 5mn to the state budget during 2009 and 2010.

The Serbian government passed a regulation according to which agricultural cooperatives, farms and registered agricultural companies partly owned by the state could buy artificial fertilizers at a lower price.

Soon after Azotara Pančevo artificial fertilizer plant, whose consultant was Nikezić, sent 70,000 tons of fertilizer to three agricultural companies.
