The Skopje-based Criminal Court extended Monday the detention of businessman Jordan Kamchev, a suspect in the “Vodno Lots” case, by another 30 days, at the request of the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Corruption.
Earlier, Kamchev’s defense said they would file a complaint to the Judicial Council over negligent and unprofessional work of the pre-trial judge in the case.
Kamchev was detained on March 14 after the National Security Agency tipped the police that the suspect prepared to escape. He is one of the suspects in the case related to illegal purchase of building lots at Vodno hill, in which the investigation is set to be completed. Fugitive ex-PM Nikola Gruevski is the first suspect in the investigation launched by the prosecution for committing crime – money laundering and illegal purchase of building lots amounting to EUR 1.3 million at Vodno.
