Mile Radišić Opens Up: Dodik Invested 15 Million KM in the "Grand Trade" Building

These days, an audio recording has surfaced, circulating in Belgrade and specifically in circles close to the authorities of Republika Srpska, containing the confession of fugitive Mile Radišić, who took refuge in Belgrade to avoid serving a three-year prison sentence, reports the Patria news agency.

 

According to the audio recording, Radišić "opened up" and revealed many "public" secrets that have been increasingly discussed in public recently.

Thus, on the audio recording, which was apparently made by one of his friends, Mile Radišić explains how the "corruption" system functions in Republika Srpska and how Finance Minister Zoran Tegeltija and his close associate, tycoon Mladen Milanović Kaja, plan to buy Nova Banka.

Tegeltija and Kaja are considered the leaders and organizers of the so-called Mrkonjić criminal clan, and Radišić also talks about his connections with judges and prosecutors.

In addition to this, there is another audio recording circulating in Belgrade circles close to the fugitive Mile Radišić, where he speaks in detail about the relations and business cooperation with his kum Milorad Dodik, who is also the President of Republika Srpska, and expresses bitterness over his kum's (Dodik's) behavior. Radišić considers his kum (Dodik) most responsible for him being sentenced to three years in prison.

On that recording, Radišić also claims that his son Renato is the only sincere and true friend of Dodik's son Igor, and announces that Renato will be the best man at Igor's wedding, indicating that the audio recording was made before Dodik's son's wedding, which took place a few months ago.

Radišić accuses Dodik of maximally exploiting his party colleagues, friends, and kumovi, stating that he himself is a victim of "Dodik's intrigues."

"Dodik is unpredictable," Radišić says, adding that he (Radišić) was convicted for abuses at Medicinska elektronika after being at "kum's (Dodik's) celebration, where he was given the great honor of sitting in the immediate vicinity of the patriarch."

Interesting is also Radišić's remark on the court case that Milorad Dodik is leading against Mladen Bosić, where he expresses surprise that Bosić submitted, among the evidence, documentation about Dodik's wartime smuggling of oil and cigarettes, because that, as he said, is "petty crime compared to much larger scandals involving Milorad Dodik."

The audio recording also reveals details about the construction of the "Grand Trade" building in Banja Luka, where Radišić reveals that the entire "operation" was carried out through the construction company "Krajina" and that Dodik invested 15 million KM in the construction of that building. According to him, this was done by Radišić selling construction land worth 15 million KM to persons close to Dodik, which he had previously purchased for 100,000 KM.

All of this, according to Radišić, was carried out through Dodik's close associates, Ljubo Čubić and Čičić.

Radišić wonders why the new owners have not built anything on the land paid for with an "astronomical" sum and for which he provided all the necessary conditions for construction. When asked by his interlocutor whether, after all this, he has any obligation towards Dodik, since there are no documents or evidence that he invested money in the "Grand Trade" building, into which the company "M:tel" was supposed to move, Radišić replies that "Dodik's 15 million" cannot be denied.

He further wonders in amazement how much money Dodik has when he is ready to "lightly sacrifice and renounce his 15 million marks." Radišić believes that, despite the problems, the company "M:tel" will still buy business space in his building in Banja Luka, because that, as he says, would guarantee security for his family.

Mile Radišić, for whom the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, once claimed was a successful businessman, is on the run, thereby delaying the start of his three-year prison sentence for abuses related to Medicinska elektronika shares. In public, there is also speculation that Radišić might be ready to reach a plea deal with judicial authorities, even testifying about various scandals and the business he conducted with his kum Dodik, reports BNTV.
