Prije nego što je odveden u pritvor, Savatijević je već nekoliko mjeseci bio u kućnom pritvoru zbog sumnje vezane za fiktivnu izgradnju cestovnih zaobilaznica oko Požarevca i Smedereva.
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.
