Who protects Katica Janeva? – journalist Branko Gerovski posed this question in his latest column, published on Tuesday. This is one of a series of Geroski’s columns dedicated to the “Racket” case, this time claiming that Special Prosecutor Katica Janeva is her own biggest protector. According to him, she threatens to reveal some things if an attempt is made to apprehend her. Geroski writes:
Up to this point, according to the public’s knowledge of the course of the investigation (which does not have to be comprehensive, as the investigation does not necessarily inform the public about everything), the investigation is mainly focused on the case of “trading with influence” between the suspects and businessman Orce Kamcev, the evidence and circumstances surrounding that event, which I have long publicly warned about is very solid and convincingly documented. At this point, it seems that the key problem of treating this part of the investigation is the unreasonable attempt to leave out the leaving special prosecutor from the list of suspects and to neglect her role in the “trading with influence”, which is also documented. Her clumsy attempts to conceal evidence (reformatting computers and telephones), in turn, make Katica Janeva a very serious candidate for detention.
At this point, it is not clear who exactly is trying to protect Janeva. To my knowledge, it is not Prime Minister Zoran Zaev. It is hard for me to imagine Prosecutor Vilma Ruskovska having a motive for that. Following Palmer’s statement, the story that Katica was being defended by the Americans fails. On the contrary, my information is that they are totally disappointed with the behavior of their former protégé. Accordingly, there is only one logical answer to the question who protects Katica, an answer that is close to what is heard in the halls – Katica protects Katica! Namely, there is speculation that Janeva is sending messages that in case she has to join Boki and Kiceec, she intends to “speak” in order to drag others into the abyss.
An additional problem is that several businessmen have already stated in the investigation that they were racketeered in the same way as Kamcev, and one of them supported his statement with a witness statement. Some of the businessmen from whom the suspect Jovanovski and the group were directly extorting money (citing friendship with Katica Janeva and compromising materials from the SPO) are still silent about the racketeering, but there are already speculations on their names and it is estimated that their further delays to give statements can seriously put them in a situation and make themselves criminally responsible. Especially if the two suspects “speak”, and most importantly Boki himself, who allegedly was already sending such messages.
