B92 has obtained exclusive information regarding an indictment against folk singer Svetlana Ceca Ražnatović and her sister Lidija Veličković-Ocokoljić.

The indictment against the window of gangster Željko Ražnatović aka Arkan was drafted two months ago. The prosecution, despite this fact, still has not decided whether to indict the singer, or drop their case against her.

Ražnatović and her sister are suspected of illegally appropriating over four million then German marks, and around USD 3.5mn, from transfers of Belgrade's FK Obilić football players to foreign clubs.

The two, according to the document obtained by B92, transferred the money to their private accounts instead of transferring it to the club account.

At the time of the alleged criminal dealings, Svetlana Ražnatović was the president, and Lidija Veličković secretary of FK Obilić. According to a B92 source, Svetlana Ražnatović has political protection and is preparing for her December tour of Australia.

Regardless of the fact that the investigation has lasted for full seven years, the prosecution demanded neither that her passport be revoked, nor to ban her from leaving the country.

If Svetlana Ražnatović happens to be out of the country when and if the indictment against her is raised, the scenario of evading prosecution could repeat, as seen before in the cases of Marko Milošević, Mirjana Marković and Bogoljub Karić, who are all hiding in Russia.
