The Higher Court in Belgrade has ruled that a former NBS vice-governor and an SPS party official were not guilty in a bribery case.

The prosecution indicted and sent to trial central bank’s former number two, Dejan Simić, and Vladan ZagraÄ‘anin of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), for allegedly accepting bribes in a case the media dubbed the Suitcase Affair, since the money was found in a suitcase.
