According to Ilic, State Security believed that former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic was somehow involved the crime and that the trial would delay or prevent his extradition to The Hague.
Prema Ilićevim rečima, Državna bezbednost je verovala da je bivši predsednik Srbije Slobodan Milošević na neki način umešan u zločin i da bi se suđenjem odložilo ili sprečilo njegovo izručenje u Hag.
