Prosecutors in Niš seek information on suspected vote buying
A report claims money was being handed out in Zagužane near a local venue.
More public prosecutors in Niš have asked the Criminal Police Directorate to collect information after a report alleging vote buying linked to the election process in Surdulica.
The case centres on a complaint filed on 25 October by a member of the election staff of the Students’ List at the Surdulica Police Station. The person reported that in the village of Zagužane, in the area of one catering venue, money was being handed to Roma residents.
To check the allegation, prosecutors sent a request for the necessary information to the UKP anti-corruption services. The focus is on the suspected criminal offence of giving and receiving bribes in connection with voting.
The investigation is continuing, with police checks underway based on the information gathered from the complaint.
