CASE SUMMARY
On August 28, 2024, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia unsealed an indictment charging Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic with being part of a years-long conspiracy to perpetrate “swatting” attacks and bomb threats against U.S. victims that included senior government officials.
According to the indictment, Radovanovic and others were part of a conspiracy that began no later than December of 2020 and continued through January of 2024. The conspirators obtained personal identifying personal information, including home addresses, for their intended victims, and then carried out “swatting” attacks by falsely reporting emergencies for the purpose of provoking a police response at the victim’s home.
The indictment alleges that, in furtherance of the conspiracy, the defendants committed swatting attempts against 40 private victims and 61 official victims, including members of Congress, cabinet-level executive branch officials, senior officials of federal law enforcement agencies, and state officials. The indictment also alleges that the defendants committed bomb threats against four victim businesses, four victim religious institutions, and one victim university.
Radovanovic is charged with one count of conspiracy, 29 counts of threats and false information regarding explosives, and four counts of transmitting threats in interstate and foreign commerce.
The prosecution is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
