Zoran Verusevski, the former spy chief involved in both the 2000 and the 2015 wiretapping scandals which created serious political and security crises in Macedonia, received 42.000 EUR in damages from the court because of his arrest in 2015.
Verusevski spent nearly a year in prison on charges that he created an illegal wiretapping ring in the UBK agency he once led, spied on politicians and gave their conversations to the SDSM party in order to create the political crisis which eventually brought SDSM to power and left Macedonia renamed and redefined as a nation state.
The charges against Verusevski were dropped by now disgraced, SDSM affiliated Special Prosecutor Katica Janeva, and he used this to claim damages for the detention he had to endure. Verusevski is now security adviser to Zaev and recently acknowledged that the wiretaps he and Zaev were using in 2015 were “heavily modified” for political purposes.
