DEFRAUDING THE STATE
YUGOSLAVIAN SCANDAL BOSNIAN DEPUTY IMPLICATED Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. BELGRADE, February 26. (Received February 27, at 1.40 p.m.) A political scandal, which is expected to have repercussions similar to the Stavisky affiair, caused a sensation in the Jugoslavian Skupshtina. After an angry debate, immunity was withdrawn from a Bosnian deputy named Husem Kaditch, to enable bis trial on charges of fraudulently securing bonds worth £84,000. It is alleged that he carried out one of the most audacious swindles ever known inside any Parliament by securing the passage of a bogus Bill, enabling him and his associates to sell large estates, sometimes at seventy-five times their value, when under the agrarian reform scheme nobles’ estates were seized and portioned out to the peasants. One hundred deputies supported the restoration of the death penalty in cases of defrauding the State of amounts exceeding £2OO.
