Prior to being taken into custody, Savatijevic was already under house arrest for several months on suspicion of fictitious construction of the road bypasses around Pozarevac and Smederevo.
Prije no što je odveden u pritvor, Savatijević je već nekoliko mjeseci bio u kućnom pritvoru na temelju sumnje za fiktivnu izgradnju obilaznica oko Požarevca i Smedereva.
