The trial of a wealthy Serbian businessman with alleged criminal links was postponed on Tuesday for the third time after one of the defendants failed to appear in court, pleading sudden illness.
Following seven years of litigation and two lower court verdicts, the Court of Appeals in Belgrade must rule by October on the case of Stanko Subotic, who is accused on cigarette smuggling related charges, or see the statute of limitations expire and the well-known figure walk free.
The same hearing has been postponed twice for the same reason in past four months, but in those cases it was Subotic who claimed to be sick. A month later, his lawyer failed to show up in court – also because of health issues. The trial is now scheduled for September.
