Biography

Andrej Vučić is a son of Angelina and Anđelko Vučić, and the younger brother of Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia.[3][8][9][10]

While working at the Institute for Manufacturing Banknotes and Coins, Andrej Vučić's identity card and his signature were "stolen" and "used" to incorporate the company Asomakum. Asomakum company was a subject of discussions in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia about frauds and subject to official prosecutorial decision in Belgrade court in 2011 due to taxes avoidance. Andrej Vučić filed a claim for stolen identity.[11]

In September 2014, during Pride parade in Belgrade, a group of gendarmes physically attacked Andrej Vučić and his bodyguards.[12]

In September 2015 five members of United States Congress (Eddie Bernice Johnson, Carlos Curbelo, Scott Perry, Adam Kinzinger, and Zoe Lofgren) have informed Vice President of the United States Joseph Biden that Andrej Vučić is leading a group that smears media freedom in Serbia.[1]

Members of the Congress stated that a small group of people led by Vučić's brother, Andrej Vučić, and two of his close friends, Nikola Petrović and Zoran Korać, "strengthened their influence and interest in energy, telecommunications, infrastructure and all the major jobs in Serbia.[1]

Former Mayor of Belgrade, Siniša Mali, claimed that his candidature for the post of mayor was the idea of Andrej Vučić.[13]
