Amphetamine in Zvezdara Church Yard, Detention Sought
Belgrade's Higher Public Prosecutor's Office questioned two suspects, aged 32 and 22, over about 10 kilograms of drugs allegedly kept in a church yard for sale.
Two suspects have been questioned on suspicion of unlawfully keeping about 10 kilograms of amphetamine for sale in the yard of a church in Zvezdara on October 8, 2026, the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade said. They are B. K. (32) and V. J. (22).
Both denied committing the offense at the hearing. Prosecutors then asked the pretrial judge of the Higher Court in Belgrade to order their detention.
What are the suspects charged with?
The order opening the investigation accuses the suspects of unlawful production and trafficking of narcotics. According to the prosecutors, they kept the amphetamine not for personal use but for sale.
The presumption of innocence applies until a final verdict, and the prosecutors’ statement sets out only the grounds for suspicion.
Why do prosecutors want detention?
The stated reason is a single one: to prevent the suspects from repeating the offense within a short period of time. The pretrial judge will decide on the request.
The statement does not say which church is involved, when the suspects were arrested, or whether the court has already ruled on detention. Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) also carried the news, without additional details on these points.
What else is before the same prosecutors?
The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade also lists the questioning of O. R. (19), who is suspected of unlawfully keeping various types of narcotics for sale. At the hearing he chose to remain silent, using his legal right not to present a defense.
