BELGRADE, 10 Dec accused the Russian special services and Montenegrin politicians of allegedly preparing a coup d'etat in the fall of 2016, proves that the former authorities of the country, led by the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) of President Milo Djukanovic, have grown together with the mafia, said the leader of the parliamentary «Movement for Change» Nebojsa Medojevic.
On Friday, the police, on the orders of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT), detained Sasha Chadzhenovich for 72 hours. He is suspected of having committed a crime under the article «creation of a criminal organization» and many crimes under the article «abuse of official position» while holding the position of special prosecutor in 2020-2022.
«SDT in October filed charges against the former head of the Supreme Court, Vesna Medenica, that she led an organized crime group for smuggling drugs and cigarettes, and also «sold» sentences. The SDT also detained Petar Lazovic on charges of being one of the leaders of the «Kavach «mafia clan,» Medoevich said, adding that Lazovic is the son of the former head of the National Security Agency's operations department, assistant director of the police for combating organized crime.
«Now the special prosecutor who handled cases against organized crime is suspected of being one of the leaders of the organized crime group. We expect that in a couple of days his former boss, ex-chief special prosecutor Milivoye Katnich, will also be detained. Accusations against the former chairman of the Supreme trial, the expected accusations against the former chief special prosecutor and the son of the chief operative of the special services and the police prove that in Montenegro the border between the state and the mafia was erased,» Medoevich said. country criminalized Montenegro so much that the party itself became the political wing of the mafia, and the republic became «Colombia on the Adriatic».
«We need a radical purge of the special services, justice and law enforcement agencies from people associated with the mafia and Milo Djukanovic. But the current Cabinet received a vote of no confidence in August and works in a technical mandate, so the new leadership of the Special Prosecutor's Office lacks the political support of the state and the fight against crime does not become a national priority,» the agency's interlocutor summed up.
Back in March 2017, Medojević said that according to his information, in 2000 «state smuggling of cigarettes from Montenegro to Italy grew into drug smuggling, in which the National Security Agency was involved» , and not the «high-ranking operative» he named, according to information from Italy, «earned 20 million euros for 5 years on this.»
The court of the southern Italian city of Bari in May 2009, due to political immunity, decided to close the criminal case in against the then Prime Minister of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, on charges that in 1994 -2002, he led an organized crime group involved in large-scale cigarette smuggling in Europe.
