The Bulgarian authorities have send to Belgrade the documents related to the investigation of the Serbian pop folk star Ceca Velickovic.
The Serbian Court also requested documents from Turkey, France, Austria, Russia and Greece. So far Bulgaria, Turkey and France have cooperated with the request.
Velickovic is charged with misappropriating nearly EUR 12 M from transfers of football players abroad in her capacity of President of the Football Club Obilic. The charges involve 15 transfers for which there are no contracts with Obilic and no financial information about the money the club received from them.
The foreign countries, including Bulgaria, have been asked to provide the official transfer contracts.
In Bulgaria the questionable transfers involve players Nebojsa Jelenkovic and Milan Obradovic, both competing for the “LITEX” FC in the city of Lovech.
Ceca Velickovic is one of the most famous Serbian pop folk stars and widow of Serbian career criminal and paramilitary leader notable for organizing and leading a paramilitary force in the Yugoslav Wars, Zelko Raznoatovic, aka Arkan. Raznatovic was on Interpol's most wanted list for robberies and murders committed in a number of European countries and was later indicted by the UN for crimes against humanity. He was gunned down in 2000 in downtown Belgrade.
Velickovic was arrested after the March 2003 murder of Serbian Prime Minister, Zoran Djinjic, over suspicions she was harboring members of the mafia, involved in the murder, in her house where 11 guns were found by the authorities.. She was later released over lack of evidence and after the court accepted her explanation the guns belonged to Arkan and she was not aware of their existence.
