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.
Pre nego što je odveden u pritvor, Savatijević je već nekoliko meseci bio u kućnom pritvoru na osnovu sumnje za fiktivnu izgradnju zaobilaznica oko Požarevca i Smedereva.
