Ivan Ninic (Media Center Belgrade)
Private company Valir, the owner of munitions transported by the cargo plane which had crashed in northern Greece, was linked with arms dealer Slobodan Tesic, who was not formally registered as the company owner or general manager as he had been sanctioned by the U.S. and U.N. attorney Ivan Ninic told the July 19 issue of Belgrade daily Nova.
Ninic also said that Stefan Cupkovic, the former general manager of company Valira, was in parallel at the helm of company Lusor, owned by Khaled Hamed, who, according to Ninic, “is directly linked with Tesic.”
The daily reported that Cupkovic had been a representative of the branch office of Cyprus-registered company Elvante Ltd, whose general manager was Goran Andric “whom the U.S. Department of the Treasury has marked as a person representing Tesic in various international deals.”
The aircraft of Ukrainian cargo airline Meridian Ltd. transporting 11.5 tons of Serbia-made munitions, which company Valir had sold to the Bangladeshi Defense Ministry, crashed near the city of Kavala in northern Greece late on July 16. All eight Ukrainian crew members were killed in the crash.
