Disgraced former Special Prosecutor Katica Janeva was kept for treatment at an elite heart clinic in Skopje, over fears of a possible heart attack.

Janeva has been detained for a month and a half in the Sutka prison over charges of racketeering money and gifts from businessmen she was prosecuting. Her lawyer Irena Frckoska said that her health condition is very bad, that the overweight prosecutor suffers from high blood pressure and general anxiety. She was being examined at the Zan Mitrev clinic and was kept there for follow up examinations.

Her main co-defendant Bojan Jovanovski – Boki 13, who had a gastric bypass surgery in the clinic of the businessman Jordan Orce Kamcev who he was extorting money from, is also suffering from poor health, his lawyers say. His interrogation earlier this week had to be stopped after Boki 13 fell ill.
