Radulovic back in Serbia, taken in for questioning

BELGRADE - Slobodan Radulovic, former director of C Market retail chain, returned to Serbia after eight years on the run and was taken in for questioning at the Organized Crime Prosecutor's Office of the Belgrade High Court.

Radulovic should be interrogated before the criminal pre-trial chamber within 48 hours following his incarceration, Court's spokesperson Dusica Ristic told Tanjug.

Previously, he was examined by doctors at the special prison hospital as he did not feel well, and afterwards he signed a document stating his consent to be interrogated briefly.

Earlier on Saturday, Radulovic arrived at Belgrade Airport Nikola Tesla. He was on the run since the launch of the legal proceedings against the so-called Bankruptcy Mafia in April 2006, and an international arrest warrant was issued against him.

After years of trial, the Special Court passed a verdict in the Bankruptcy Mafia case sentencing Radulovic to five years in prison for abuses relating to C market.

The ruling, however, has not been enforced still, and the Appellate Court is expected to decide on the appeals.

Radulovic can request a retrial as he was sentenced in absentia.

The Second Municipal Court in Belgrade instituted a procedure against Radulovic in 2008 over illegal activities involving products of Nivea company and issued an arrest warrant against him.
