  "summary": "Marko Kricak, the head of Serbia's criminal police directorate, has been arrested and charged with abuse of office, according to state media reported by DW English (Top Stories) and DW News. Kricak is accused of manipulating and suppressing an investigation regarding the May murder of a suspected criminal underworld figure in a Belgrade restaurant.\n\nThe 42-year-old was considered a supporter of former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, whose right-wing populist camp lost the October 25 parliamentary elections to the opposition Student List. Student groups had previously accused Kricak of brutality during police responses to peaceful anti-Vucic demonstrations and had demanded the removal of Vucic loyalists from the intelligence and police apparatus.\n\nWhile the arrest of a senior officer close to the former regime is being viewed by some as an erosion of the Vucic system, Belgrade’s chief prosecutor, Nenad Stefanovic, denied any connection between the arrest and the results of the legislative elections.",
