A Serbian court has found 12 men guilty of the 2003 assassination of the pro-Western Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in Belgrade. All the defendants, who include members of the secret police and alleged mafia kingpins, had denied the charges.

Two former policemen - Milorad "Legija" Ulemek and Zvezdan Jovanovic - received 40-year jail terms. Ulemek, an ex-French Foreign Legionnaire, and Jovanovic were said to be the ringleaders of the plot. They had been members of the Red Berets police unit.

JFK all over again?

Finally the so called Marathon Trial of the assassination of the Serbian PM Djindjic is over; 12 are found guilty, including rouge elements of secret police with connections to Serbian mafia. Main conspirators against the PM were the notorious Milorad Ulemek known as "Legion" and Zvezdan Jovanovic known as "The Snake". "It was all prepared by Ulemek. Jovanovic fired the shots," Judge Nata Mesarevic was quoted as saying by news agency Reuters. During this trial one protected witness and another eyewitness were murdered, while one judge resigned and another received death threats. So on the basis of all this they recieve JUST 40-year jail time? Kind of a "Mild" sentance if you ask me...
