Pukanic Assassins Robbed Post Office in Belgrade?

Text

Police suspect that Milovanovic with two accomplices, one of them fugitive Bojan Guduric stole 5mln dinars from a Belgrade post office.

Zeljko Milovanovic was arrested in downtown Belgrade on Sunday evening on suspicion of having carried out the assassination of Croatian journalist Ivo Pukanic. According to the Blic daily, last week he most probably robbed a post office in Belgrade, stealing five million dinars. 

Serbian police suspect that Milovanovic had two accomplices in the robbery and considering the fact that the last remaining suspect in the Pukanic assassination, Bojan Gurudic, is still at large, there is a possibility that he was one of the accomplices.

Milanovic and his accomplice burst into the post office armed and demanded money from the staff. The two then ran out with the money, with a third person waiting for them in the parking lot.

Mobile phone records lead to Bojan Guduric? Reuters-.--.-Ivo Pukanic and Nika Franjic were killed in a car explosion in the centre of Zagreb.

The Belgrade daily writes that Milovanovic was in Belgrade several days before the robbery, but that there is information about his movements in neighbouring countries in which he entered and exited with forged documents.

In order to locate Guduric, police are going through all calls placed from and to Milovanovic’s mobile phones which were confiscated during his arrest.

Since Sunday when he was arrested, Milovanovic has been questioned by Serbian police. He is expected to be brought before an investigating judge of the Special Court for Organised Crime.
