Criminal Police Directorate (UKP), Interior Ministry

Marko Kričak was appointed head of the Criminal Police Directorate in December 2025, even though complaints of abuse and torture had been filed against him. According to KRIK, after the largest marijuana seizure in Serbia's history, on the estate of an SNS councillor in Konjuh, 15 senior officers of the Drug Enforcement Service were transferred without explanation, and 13 police officers wrote to the prime minister about the “destruction of the service”. Veselin Milić's lawyers filed a complaint against Kričak, alleging that he had presented the evidence against Milić selectively and falsely.
