Simović pled guilty at the re-trial and expressed remorse. He claimed several times that he knows who ordered Đinđić’s murder, but he refused to reveal any names. Kalinić denied involvement in the murder, and called on an additional witness to establish his innocence.
However, the Court found this testimony irrelevant. Kalinić’s attorney Slavko Petrić told the media that he will appeal the sentence Simović requested a new attorney, but the Court rejected his request. In a separate case against the Zemun gang, both Simović and Kalinić were sentenced to an additional 40 years in prison for a string of murders, kidnappings, and other criminal acts. The defendants are awaiting appeal for these charges.
