The indictment was brought against thirteen defendants due to reasonable suspicion that they have committed criminal acts that are legally qualified as serious acts against general security, the prosecutor's office announced.

The Prosecution states that it still expects that the indictment will enter into legal force as soon as possible for all the accused, which would enable a public trial for all accused persons.

"The prosecution once again expresses its position on the necessity of a public trial, where the evidence collected by the public prosecution in the investigation, as well as the evidence of the defense, would be presented in the presence of the public at the main trial, in order to determine the criminal responsibility of the accused", the prosecution emphasized.

The indictment includes former Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic, former Acting general director of "Infrastructure of Railways of Serbia" a.d. J. T, former acting Assistant to the Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure A. D., former General Director of "Serbian Railway Infrastructure" a.d. N.

M, persons responsible for the execution of construction works Z. S. M. and D. J, persons responsible for expert supervision over the execution of works M. G. and D. T.
