- summary
- Serbian police, on orders from the Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor's Office, searched the home and office of military analyst Aleksandar Radić and summoned him for questioning over his public statements about the alleged use of a 'sonic weapon' against protesters on March 15, 2025. The prosecution claims to have evidence that the sonic weapon affair was 'planned and organized' to attack the state, and announced the prosecution of four groups of people including 'organizers,' those who provided 'media support,' and organizers of medical examinations of affected citizens. Radić is in a pre-investigation procedure on suspicion of 'calling for the violent change of the constitutional order.'

- id
- SRB-110
- institutional consequence
- Pre-investigation procedure opened against named individual on 'violent change of constitutional order' suspicion; home and office searched; prosecution publicly announces four target groups for processing; civic accountability claim reframed as criminal conspiracy on the record.
- notes
- This fits squarely within the maturing Serbian doctrine of converting state-suppression incidents into evidence of a civic-led conspiracy, now advanced from narrative deflection into individual criminal enforcement via search and seizure. The continuity across multiple coordinated waves through 2026 confirms an institutionalized propaganda-to-prosecution pipeline rather than an isolated episode.
- response ids
- trigger type
- Root trigger: The March 15, 2025 sonic weapon incident against protesters and the sustained civic accountability pressure demanding the state explain its crowd-suppression conduct — the original accountability demand the regime is now seeking to reverse. | Activation signal: The Belgrade prosecution's announcement that it has obtained evidence the sonic weapon affair was 'planned and organized,' followed by coordinated searches of Radić's home and office and a synchronized tabloid amplification wave. — Reactive to Watchdog/Accountability Activity
