MOST COMPLICATED The case was one of the long- est and most complicated, in Yugoslav Tegur history. Radomir Pasio started to lako legal action to obtain compensation for his father's inheritance in 1930.
004 The Court's Judgment cuples 87 typewritten pages. The official court record of the proceedings, together with documents submitted -as
evidence, weighs 30 kilo- grammes (60 lbs).
The Yugoslav press presented the case as an example of how the reactionary rulers of pre- war Yugoslavia bargained away to foreign exploiters the natural riches of the country which by right belonged to the people. It alleged that King Alexander was personally Involved, though clear evidence of this was not produced.
The Court went against pre- wer evid:nos of the Belgrade: police in declaring that tho signature on the document
