Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, Special Department for High-Tech Crime

The high-tech crime prosecutor's office. Since 2019 it has been prosecuting the Krušik whistleblower, who gave journalists documents on the arms trade, for disclosing trade secrets, while proceedings over the corruption he exposed have not even begun. It had Novica Antić arrested over a post on X, just as in 2014 it prosecuted people over posts about the flood death toll. Threats against writer Marko Vidojković have mostly gone unsolved, and complaints about spyware remain at the information-gathering stage.
