Prosecution seeks jail term of 12 years for Miroslav Miskovic

BELGRADE - Deputy Prosecutor Tamara Ristic sought on Thursday a 12-year prison sentence for the owner of Delta Holding, Miroslav Miskovic, for tax evasion and misuse of office, underlining that he siphoned off EUR 30 million from road maintenance companies.

The deputy prosecutor also urged the special court to fine Miskovic, but did not specify the sum.

Miskovic has been standing trial for aiding and abetting his son Marko in tax evasion and abusing the position by allegedly siphoning off money from privatized road maintenance companies.

Miskovic and his son Marko were arrested in December 2012. After months spent in custody, they were released pending a verdict, on a bail of several million euros. Having been prohibited from leaving their place of residence without the court's approval, they had to cede their passports to the court.
