 After being on the run for more than two weeks, Filipović was arrested in Belgrade on 2 June 2013.After initially being charged with "causing severe bodily harm with life-threatening injuries", his charge was in the meantime upgraded to "attempted murder" by the Serbian public prosecutor office.During the trial, the role of Filipović's fiancée Sanja Ševović (who was also at the bar the night of the stabbing) came under scrutiny, particularly the exact time she claimed to have left the bar.
