The arrested head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Zvonko Puletić, was transferred yesterday from the Internal Affairs Department of Bjelo Polje Hospital to the Investigation Prison in that city.
The head of neonatology, Haka Tahirović, is still being treated at that department.
Puletić and Tahirovićeva were arrested on December 26, 2014. On that day, several doctors were arrested in Bijelo Polje and Podgorica, suspected of numerous omissions, which led to the infection of five babies from the north, one of whom died.
Puletić fell ill the day after he was ordered to be detained for 48 hours, and despite his opposition, he was kept in the ward.
Tahirović was admitted to the hospital two days later, after investigating judge Vanja Rakonjac ordered the suspects to be detained for one month.
The director of the hospital, Dr. Tomislav Jeremić, is also in the pre-trial prison. The three of them are suspected of serious crimes against the safety of people.
