Belgrade - Interior Minister Ivica Dačić’s cabinet chief, Branko Lazarević, has denied that he had connections with Darko Šarić.
Šarić is among a group of suspects believed to have been involved in smuggling tons of narcotics, and is currently at large.
Belgrade daily Blic wrote that Nikola Dimitrijević, Lazarević’s brother-in-law, last year bought a farming company, that had Šarić’s closest business associates – Zoran Ćopić and Andrija Krlović – in its managing board.
Lazarević told B92 that the allegations in the report were not true, and that he would deny them in an answer to the daily.
The Mitrosrem company, based in Sremska Mitrovica, was worth EUR 25mn, and Dimitrijević bought is as the owner of DMT Relations.
Lazarević was co-owner of DTM until August 2007, the newspaper revealed. In 2008, he was appointed Dačić’s cabinet chief.
About the same time, Ćopić and Krlović began their business association with Šarić, starting acquisitions of companies on his behalf throughout Serbia.
The contract that saw DTM take over Mitrosrem was signed in June 2009, according to company data.
In July, the Privatization Agency gave its approval, and the transaction was official.
