Aleksandar Šapić

Prosecutors questioned him as a suspect in the attack on councillor Tatjana Mićić, who says he hit her on the nose, while he says he only pushed her away. He allegedly extended his flat in Bežanijska Kosa without a permit, which he denies, and for his villa near Trieste he declared only 150 square metres to the anti-corruption agency; with his lawsuits against BIRN journalists, he says, he wants to stop such reporting. He told writer Marko Vidojković, the target of death threats, that he would “rip his heart out”, and Vidojković's complaint was dismissed.
