Bekstvo Saše Ilića, optuženog za krivično delo ugrožavanje bezbednosti novinarke Ane Lalić Hegediš, zahteva hitnu potragu za beguncem, jer je prekršio rešenje sudije za prethodni postupak o kućnom pritvoru uz elektronski nadzor.
Neophodno je što pre locirati optuženog, jer su pretnje zbog kojih je uhapšen, bile usmerene na lišavanje života i nanošenje povreda, proterivanje uz brutalne seksističke poruke. Potrebno ga je sprečiti da izvrši one radnje koje je pominjao u pretećim porukama.
Pošto su mu putna dokumenta oduzeta, zemlju je mogao da napusti samo ilegalno, te je moguće da se krije i u Srbiji, što znači da se možda i šeta Novim Sadom pored, već ugroženih, Ane Lalić Hegediš i Dinka Gruhonjića kojima je pretio.
Pošto ima dva identiteta: u srpskom pasošu pod imenom Saša Ilić, a u francuskom kao Ilber Alexandre, koji su mu oduzeti, moguće je da raspolaže i nekim drugim dokumentom, uz pomoć kojeg je mogao da pređe granicu.
Neophodno je da se zamolnicom zatraži hitna provera da li se optuženi nalazi u svom boravištu u Parizu, ili na njegovom radnom mestu, o čemu postoje dostupni podaci.
I zatražiti urgentnu ekstradiciju pravosudnim organima Srbije.
Zamolićemo francuska novinarska udruženja, kao i organizaciju Reporteri bez granica, da nam pomognu u prikupljanju ovih podataka, kako bismo ubrzali birokratske procedure.
Neophodno je da se utvrdi kako je bilo moguće da optuženi Saša Ilić sa nanogicom napusti mesto boravka, a da to ne registruje nadležna služba za vanzavodske sankcije, odnosno da policija ne pokrene sveobuhvatnu potragu za optuženim. Umesto toga, patrole obilaze boravište koje je, uklanjajući nanogicu, optuženi napustio.
Provera je vršena 1. i 4. juna sa istim rezultatima. Zbog čega nije raspisana potraga?
Jedan od komšija kaže da je Ilića poslednji put video 31. maja u prepodnevnim satima, tako da je izvesno da je tog dana napustio mesto koje mu je sudija odredio za prethodni postupak.
Očekujemo da se utvrdi odgovornost za sve počinjene propuste.
Kako je moguće da GPS lokator na nanogici nije radio, ili nije postojao?
Zbog čega tužilaštvo i sud nisu već 1. juna obavešteni o bekstvu? Ili ako su obavešteni zbog čega nije naređena potraga?
Zbog čega oštećeni Ana Lalić Hegediš i Dinko Gruhonjić nisu istog tog dana obavešteni o tome da je osoba koja im je pretila u bekstvu?
MUP u Novom Sadu bi trebalo da obezbedi novinare kojima je pretilo lice koje je u bekstvu.
Zbog čega se čitavih mesec dana ništa nije radilo po ovom pitanju, a za bekstvo se saznalo tek pošto se optuženi nije pojavio na suđenju?
Očekujem od Ministarstva pravde da utvrdi sve propuste i kazni odgovorne i o tome obavesti javnost.
Podsećam:
Saša Ilić je 11. marta 2024. godine iz Pariza poslao preteće poruke Ani Lalić Hegediš.
Nakon prijave, posebno Tužilaštvo za visokotehnološki kriminal veoma brzo uspeva da locira i identifikuje počinioca, raspisujući potragu.
Prilikom ulaska u zemlju, Sašu Ilića privodi policija. Tom prilikom, oduzeto mu je sredstvo kojim je počinjeno krivično delo – mobilni telefon i fiksiran je dokaz - poslata pretnja.
Prilikom saslušanja, 21. marta okrivljeni priznaje počinjeno delo.
Tužilaštvo je predložilo zatvorski pritvor 31. marta 2024. godine, a Viši sud u Beogradu je odredio blažu meru – zabranu napuštanja stana. Nakon dva meseca, 28. maja 2024. godine, podnet je optužni predlog, sud je produžio meru zabrane napuštanja stana, a okrivljeni koji je priznao delo, posle tri dana je prekršio meru i pobegao.

Veran Matić - It is urgent to determine the oversights that enabled the escape of the accused for threatening the journalist Ana Lalić Hegediš
The escape of Saša Ilić, accused of the criminal offense of endangering the safety of journalist Ana Lalić Hegediš, requires an urgent search for the fugitive, because he violated the decision of the judge for the preliminary proceedings on house arrest with electronic monitoring.
It is necessary to locate the accused as soon as possible, because the threats for which he was arrested were aimed at taking life and causing injuries, expulsion, along with brutal sexist messages. It is necessary to prevent him from carrying out the actions he mentioned in the threatening messages.
Since his travel documents were confiscated, he could only leave the country illegally, and it is possible that he is also hiding in Serbia, which means that he may be walking around Novi Sad next to the already endangered Ana Lalić Hegediš and Dinko Gruhonjić, whom he threatened.
Since he has two identities: in the Serbian passport, he goes under the name of Saša Ilić, and in the French one as Ilber Alexandre, which were taken from him, it is possible that he has some other identification document with which he could have crossed the border.
It is necessary to request an urgent check whether the accused is at his place of residence in Paris, or at his place of work, about which there is available information.
The request for urgent extradition to the judicial authorities of Serbia should follow.
We will ask the French journalists' associations, as well as the organization Reporters Without Borders, to help us collect this data, in order to speed up the bureaucratic procedures.
It is necessary to establish how it was possible for the accused Saša Ilić to leave his place of residence with an ankle bracelet, without the competent service for extra-institutional sanctions registering it, that is, without the police launching a comprehensive search for the accused. Instead, the patrols visit the place of residence that the accused left after removing the ankle bracelet.
The check was carried out on June 1 and 4 with the same results. Why wasn't a search warrant issued?
One of the neighbors says that he last saw Ilic on May 31 in the morning hours, so it is certain that on that day he left the place that the judge assigned him for the preliminary proceedings.
We expect that responsibility for all committed oversights will be determined.
How is it possible that the GPS locator on the ancle bracelet did not work, or did not exist?
Why weren't the prosecution and the court informed about the escape on June 1?
Or if they were informed, why the search was not ordered?
Why were the victims Ana Lalić Hegediš and Dinko Gruhonjić not informed on the same day that the person who threatened them was on the run?
The MIA in Novi Sad should provide for journalists who were threatened by a person who is on the run.
Why was nothing done on this issue for a whole month, and the escape was only found out after the accused did not appear at the trial?
I expect the Ministry of Justice to determine all oversights and punish those responsible and inform the public about it.
Just as a reminder:
On March 11, 2024, Saša Ilić sent threatening messages to Ana Lalić Hegediš from Paris. After the report, the Prosecutor's Office for Combating High-Tech Crime very quickly manages to locate and identify the perpetrator, issuing a search warrant.
When entering the country, Saša Ilić was detained by the police. On that occasion, the tool with which the criminal offense was committed was taken from him - a mobile phone and the evidence – a device from which a threat was sent.
During the hearing, on March 21, the defendant admitted to the crime committed.
The prosecution proposed prison custody on March 31, 2024, and the High Court in Belgrade ordered a milder measure - a ban on leaving the apartment. After two months, on May 28, 2024, an indictment was filed, the court extended the ban on leaving the apartment, and the defendant, who confessed to the crime, violated the measure after three days and ran away.
