The trial of those accused of attempted terrorism on the day of the parliamentary elections continued in the Podgorica High Court.
Course of trial:
10:43 Today's hearing is adjourned and resumes on May 3 at 14.30:XNUMX p.m. when Brian Scott is scheduled to testify.
The court rejected the proposals for the abolition of custody and surveillance measures.
10:38 The defense lawyers requested the termination of custody for Dušić, Maksimović and Đorđević. The prosecutor opposes it. Branka Milić requested that the surveillance measures against her be lifted, which the prosecutor also opposes. A 10-minute break was given for the council to decide on those requests.
10:36 Attorney Radosavljević points out that it cannot be evidence that FBI agents made a secret note and that Brian Scott's statement does not exist, and that he should not be interrogated based on those circumstances.
10:26 Lawyer Miroje Jovanović says that in January 2017, the introduction of secret surveillance measures for Mihail Čađenović was requested based on the prosecution's allegation that the persons arrested on October 16 rented apartments and rooms where they kept weapons, and that it was already known then that there were no no weapons.
10:25 The confirmation of the confiscation of the "alkatel" phone of Nikola Đurić was read.
10:15 Prosecutor Čađenović indicates that the banknotes taken from Dikić begin with the serial numbers NX and that they come from the same source as the money that was shown yesterday, which was handed over by Saša Sinđelić. Dikić's defense attorney, Jovović, states that the phones were used after the confiscation and were compromised, and that he does not consider the money to be of the same origin, and asked to determine whether the DNA of Sinđelić was found on the banknotes found with Dikić.
Dikić said that the money shown had nothing to do with the procedure and that he did not get that money from Sinđelić, but from a friend, and that the serial numbers did not match.
Attorney Radosavljević points out that X in the serial number indicates that the banknote was printed in Germany or Austria, and that it is an incorrect insinuation by Čađenović that it is money of criminal origin, but that it is only money from the same source.
10:03 The confirmation of the confiscation of four phones from the accused Dikić, phone cards, and documentation was also read. The confirmation of the confiscation of the accused Hristić's two phones from October 16 was also read.
Dikić clarified that Hristić did not communicate with anyone, but that she sent messages on his behalf on his instructions. He stated that he has no objections to show what will be used in the evidentiary proceedings. Prosecutor Čađenović requested a detailed inspection of the serial numbers of the four 500-euro banknotes that were taken from Dikić.
9:52 Lawyer Jugoslav Krpović indicated that the search was carried out due to suspicion of possession of weapons and explosive materials. The accused Branka Milić says that even today she does not know where the backpack she had with her in the hostel is and that they only searched her room for her mobile phone and that it was then taken from her, and that it was fifteen minutes after midnight.
9:42 The confirmation was read about the confiscation of the "Nokia" phone from Srboljub Đorđević, the confiscation of the "Samsung" from Siniša Ćetković, the confiscation of the phone for which the brand was not specified from Ivica Matić, the confiscation of the "LG" and "Nokia" phones from Dragan Maksić. Maksic said that his phone was taken away from Dusic and that he did not know what he was signing.
Milić claims that their phones were taken during the raid on the hostel. The confirmation of the confiscation of the "nokia" phone from Branka Milić was also read.
9:40 The confirmation of the temporary confiscation of the "Samsung" mobile phone from Aleksandar Aleksić and the confiscation of the "Nokia" phone from Aleksandar Čurović is read.
9:36 Milan Dušić said that he signed the certificate, but that it is not true that his phone was taken when it was written down, around 3 in the morning.
9:28 The confirmation of the voluntary surrender of Mirko Velimirović's phone "KAT" on October 16 is being read. The phone has two SIM cards.
Lawyer Radosavljević states that the information about two SIM cards contradicts what Velimirović said. Lawyer Jovanović points out that the certificate shows that Velimirović was not arrested on October 16 because he voluntarily handed over the phone.
9:20 Lawyer Radosavljević points out that this is a proceeding in which a verdict was rendered and a plea agreement concluded. Prosecutor Čađenović states that this is a criminal proceeding and that is why the obtained evidence is an integral part of the evidentiary material.
Branka Milić believes that the minutes are not legal because the order is not legal.
9:10 The minutes of the search of the premises used by Aleksandar Aleksić and others who were located in Virpazar are read. Phones are said to have been found. Lawyer Miroje Jovanović said that these are people who are not being tried in this procedure, and that documentation is being used.
"These are the persons that the investigating authority brought to the place where the search was conducted," Jovanović pointed out and repeated that he believes that the investigating judges were misled.
9:05 The minutes of the search of premises in Budva used by Bratislav Dikić and Kristina Hristić from October 17, 2016 are being read.
It was concluded that nothing related to the case was found in the premises. Dikić said that he was not present during the search, but that he instructed the authorities to remove the recordings from the cameras so that it would be seen that they did not meet with anyone.
Yesterday, in addition to the equipment, money in the amount of 125.000 euros was also shown, which the cooperating witness Saša Sinđelić handed over to the Serbian security agency.
And while the special prosecutor Saša Čađenović had no dilemma where the euros came from and what they were intended for, the defense lawyers state that there is no evidence that the accused Eduard Šišmakov paid the money.
Russian citizens Eduard Šišmakov and Vladimir Popov, who are being tried in absentia, as well as Serbian citizens Nemanja Ristic and Predrag Bogićević, are responsible for the criminal offense before the panel of judge Suzana Mugoša.
Bratislav Dikić, Democratic Front leaders Milan Knežević and Andrija Mandić and Mandić's driver Mihailo Čađenović are on the dock.
The indictment includes Serbian citizens Kristina Hristić and Branka Milić, who are defending themselves from freedom, as well as their compatriots - Srboljub Đorđević, Dragan Maksić, Milan Dušić who are in custody.
The proceedings were split against DF translator Anani Nikić.
