On Monday, in the repeat trial over the International Alliance case, the Criminal Court issued reduced sentences against defendants when compared to those part of the 2022 first-instance verdict.
In the repeat procedure, Bojan Jovanovski (aka. Boki 13) was sentenced to five years in prison for fraud and money laundering.
Jasna Ercegovic was given a two-year prison sentence. The period she’s spent under house arrest will be counted as part of her sentence. Hristina Blazevska received a one-year suspended sentence for money laundering, that is, she will not be imprisoned if she doesn’t commit a new crime within three years.
Bojan’s father, Mile Jovanovski, was given an 18-month suspended sentence for money laundering. He will not be put behind bars if he doesn’t commit a new crime within three years. International Alliance, as a legal entity, was fined one million denars.
According to the first-instance verdict, Bojan Jovanovski, Hristina Blazevska, and Jasna Ercegovic were sentenced to nine, one, and four years in prison, respectively, while Mile Jovanovski was given a two-year suspended sentence. In the frames of that process, Bojan Jovanovski’s father was also charged with unauthorised trade in weapons.
