# Bratislav Gašić

He decided to let the military helicopter carrying a sick baby take off; its crash killed seven people, and no one was held accountable. The commission states that he gave the order to go even though procedure had not been followed. According to inspector Dušan Mitić, who uncovered the “Jovanjica” plantation, he put pressure on inspectors, and in the National Assembly he portrayed them as criminals who “may even lie in court”. During the campaign against the ombudsman, the Protector of Citizens said that Gašić had used insults to force him to halt his oversight of the Military Security Agency (VBA).
