The subject of investigation are the claims of Assistant Minister of Internal Affairs Vladan Delic that two high-ranking police officers participated in criminal activities.
The Special Prosecutor's Office is investigating the claims of Assistant Minister of the Interior Vladan Delic that the head of the criminal police, Milovan Pavićević, and the head of the Nikšić police, Milorad Žižić, participated in illegal activities.
The fact that two high-ranking police officers are under the scrutiny of investigators was officially confirmed to Television News by the office of the chief special prosecutor Milivoj Katnić.
"On August 08.08.2016, XNUMX, the Head of the Department for Office General and Auxiliary Affairs in the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro, VD, submitted information to the Special State Prosecutor's Office that there are events in which certain police officers participate and that their actions may contain elements of a criminal offense under the jurisdiction of the SDT- a. On the basis of these notifications, and in order to verify their content, the Special State Prosecutor's Office undertakes certain reconnaissance actions," the response from Katnić's office states.
In the documents that Delić handed over to Katnić, which "Vijesti" previously had access to, he claims that Pavićević and Žižić have been persecuting him for years and that his only sin is being a dangerous witness for criminal activities in which these police chiefs participate.
As can be seen from the submitted response, Delić expressed his doubts to the prosecutor at the beginning of August.
Coincidentally or not, but almost a month later, at the beginning of September, the police searched Delic's office due to suspicions that he had committed the crimes of embezzlement, falsification of documents and abuse of official position.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Goran Danilović, commented on it as follows:
"I am obliged to notice that this is happening after Mr. Delic informed me that he submitted a document to the special prosecutor's office in which he precisely lists the names and surnames of some people who have worked illegally under him in the past period. I am not in the MUP to investigate who is in what kind of interpersonal relations in the years that are behind us, but I notice some things well and say if everything is in accordance with the law, let it end that way, but if it is about any kind of retaliation, everyone will get a chance to publicly explain what is being done," Danilović said on September 2.
Pavićević and Žižić reacted to Delić's claims only after all the domestic and regional media began to buzz about them.
This was also the reason why on Monday the head of the criminal police, as it was officially announced, sent letters to the chief special prosecutor Milivoj Katnić and the supreme state prosecutor Ivica Stanković, asking to check all the accusations he made against him, as well as against Žižić A fraction.
From the response of the special prosecution, it is clearly concluded that Pavićević was late, because the prosecutors started checking even without his handwriting, and it is extensively investigated whether he, as the head of the criminal police, together with Žižić, participated in various criminal activities, as claimed by Vladan Delić.
