The Ministry of Interior issued a statement this afternoon about the accident on Friday night which occurred near the Real Estate Cadastre Agency in the Municipality of Karposh, which was said to have been caused by additional Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Policy, Dime Spasov.
In the statement by the Ministry of Interior, they stated that the driver with the initials D.S. caused two car accidents with the vehicle brand “Touareg” and fled the scene, and a different person was reported to the police, with the initials M.T, but they then realized that the person reported did not know the circumstances of the situation and concluded that someone else was driving the vehicle.
“On October 28, 2016, at 23:20pm, E.A. called the emergency number 192 and reported that in the City Park in Skopje, while driving on the service road towards hotel “Park” with their car “Volkswagen” with Skopje license plates, they had been hit by another vehicle, a “Touareg” with Skopje license plates, who had been driving in the opposite direction. The driver that caused the accident did not stop, and fled the scene, and the person who reported the accident to the police followed the driver who had fled the scene of the accident. The driver of the “Touareg” continued to move down the Franklin Roosevelt Street, after which he turned right down Metropolitan Theodosius Gologanov Street, and then Njudelhiska Street, where the driver caused a second accident, hitting another vehicle with Skopje license plates, and again, did not stop and fled the scene again and continued to Alzirska Street, where he was finally stopped by a police patrol. Police officers, personally and directly determined that the vehicle was owned by the Employment Agency, and inside the vehicle was the driver D.S. accompanied by T.K.”, reads the statement by the Interior Ministry.
The police stated, that D.S. had told the police officer that he was driving the vehicle, and while police attempted to determine the identity of his companion, D.S fled the scene on foot. Police teams and “Alfa” units carried out searches in the immediate area, but D.S. was not found.
Later, around 2:00 am, at the scene where the vehicle was left, a person with the initials M. T. arrived and told the police told he had been driving the “Touareg”.
“From the statement made by M.T. it can be concluded that that the person in question does not know the circumstances concerning the previously described accidents, which indicates that he was not driving the vehicle. The statement by M.T. does not correspond with the statement by T.K the companion of D.S. nor does it correspond with statements by police officers who were at the scene, who found that in the vehicle there were only two people, D.S. and T. K.”, the statement said.
This morning retraction and lawsuits have been announced and sent from Spasov’s office, where they stated the story had been set-up to deliberately destroy the image and rating of the additional deputy minister.
