# Internal Control Sector of the Interior Ministry (MUP) The Interior Ministry's Internal Control unit, which is supposed to investigate police officers but in these affairs mostly did not. For more than two years it has failed to act on orders from the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Niš, both in the investigation into the death of a man held at the police station in Bor and in checking whether the confessions of the accused in the case of the missing girl were coerced; according to the Ombudsman, it also failed to fulfil its role in Savamala. It questioned police officers suspected of violence in Valjevo only as private citizens, yet it arrested a policewoman who, according to its own ruling, passed information about the accident to the opposition, and held her for 48 hours. ## Affairs - [Andrej Obradović: complaint against police officers dismissed](https://odgovornost.rs/en/afere/andrej-obradovic-policija): It submitted a report to the prosecution;
