Serbia organized crime prosecutors charge minister, others in connection with Kushner-linked project

Serbia's prosecutor for organized crime on Monday charged a government minister and three others with abuse of office and falsifying of documents to help pave the way for a real estate project linked to Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law.

Proposed criminal charges were announced against Culture Minister Nikola Selaković, who is a close ally of autocratic President Aleksandar Vučić, and three other officials, according to a statement published on the official website of the Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime.

The investigation centers on a controversy over a bombed-out military complex in central Belgrade that was a protected cultural heritage zone, but that is facing redevelopment as a luxury compound.
