Kricak and Sekulovic Arrested on Prosecution Order

Marko Kricak, head of the Criminal Police Directorate, and Bosko Sekulovic, head of the Crime Suppression Service, were arrested Sunday morning, November 1, 2026, on an order from the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade. Neither the prosecutor’s office nor the Interior Ministry (MUP) had issued a statement by the time of publication, so the arrests are reported on the basis of claims by the Radar portal and the Tanjug news agency. Both men are suspects, and no guilt has been established.

What is known about the Kricak and Sekulovic arrests

Radar, followed by Danas and N1, reports that Kricak was arrested on suspicion of abuse of office, acting on a criminal complaint filed by the lawyer Veselin Milic, an assistant police director. Tanjug, whose reporting was carried by RTS, says the same about Kricak and adds that Sekulovic was also arrested. Neither source gives the exact hour of the arrests.

The sources differ on Sekulovic’s status. Danas and N1 write that he was “brought in” on the same complaint, while Novosti and B92 say he was handcuffed. According to B92 and Novosti, the operation was carried out by the Service for the Fight Against Corruption, on the prosecutor’s order.

Why do accounts of the grounds for suspicion differ?

Two sources describe what Kricak and Sekulovic are accused of in different terms:

• Radar (author Vuk Cvijic) reports that Kricak is suspected of falsifying evidence in the “Senjak 27” case and of pressuring witnesses and defendants so that they would fit the facts to an already formed version of events.
• Tanjug reports that both men were arrested for unlawful conduct in the “Senjak” case and for beating some of the suspects in that case at a police station during questioning.

In the same article, Danas recalls that four suspects in the murder investigation claimed they were beaten by police, and that the indicted restaurant owner stated that Kricak was among those who struck him. These are allegations made during the investigation, not established facts.

The complaint from Milic’s lawyers and the Senjak case

According to Radar, the proceedings were triggered by a criminal complaint that Milic’s lawyers filed against Kricak and Sekulovic with the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office, in its Special Department for the Suppression of Corruption. Danas reports that the complaint was filed on July 30, 2026. A statement was signed at the time by the law firm “Vasiljevic legal,” and N1 reports that it said the people named in the complaint had not given the prosecution evidence from which it

“clearly and unequivocally followed that the facts stated in the criminal complaint against Milic were untrue, or could not be accurate, which was also shown by the dismissal of all allegations in the submitted criminal complaint and its supplement”.

According to N1’s account of the statement, the same lawyers claimed that the people named in the complaint had discredited Milic in public through “unlawful conduct driven by personal motives” and caused his removal as head of the Belgrade Police Department. These are claims made by Milic’s defense.

Behind all of this is the murder of Aleksandar Nesovic, known as Baja, committed on the evening of May 12 at the restaurant “27” in Senjak. Kricak led the police operation after the crime, and the original police criminal complaint also covered Milic, then an assistant police director and head of the Belgrade police. Milic was arrested on May 15 along with ten other people, and the next day he was placed in custody for up to 30 days. On June 3 the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the complaint against three police officers from his security detail, and on June 9 it dismissed part of the complaint against Milic himself. A panel of the Higher Court in Belgrade ruled on July 6 that Milic would defend himself while free, and on July 10 the prosecution filed an indictment proposal on suspicion that he failed to report an aggravated murder and entered false information in an official note.

Sasa Vukovic, known as Boske, is charged with the aggravated murder of Nesovic. Five more men are charged with helping him remove traces and hide the body: two of his friends and two waiters from the restaurant. The body was found on May 21 in a barrel on the territory of the municipality of Indjija.

Who is Marko Kricak?

He was appointed head of the Criminal Police Directorate on December 30, 2025. Before that, he commanded the Unit for the Protection of Designated Persons and Facilities from 2023, and in 2022 he became its deputy commander. He began his career at the Security Information Agency, and also worked in the Organized Crime Service and the Belgrade Police Department.

He became publicly known when the student Nikolina Sindjelic accused him of threats and physical violence in the garage of the Serbian Government building during the 2025 protests and filed a criminal complaint against him. Those are her claims. Danas writes that Kricak recently filed a private lawsuit against her. The same paper notes that President Aleksandar Vucic has praised him publicly more than once.

What is still unknown

It is not known when Kricak and Sekulovic will be questioned, or whether the prosecution will seek custody. B92 reports that a statement from the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office is expected, which should explain the details of the arrests. No response from Kricak, Sekulovic or their defense lawyers has been published.
