There is no evidence that Sekulić extorted money from hackers

The officer of the Institute for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions, Slavko Sekulić, will not answer for the accusations that he extorted money from the former detainee Miloš Čujović, because the prosecution has determined that they are unfounded.

"I am informing you that in 2015, a case was established in this prosecutor's office and that the reported case was investigated. M. Č. were heard in the proceedings. and other witnesses who had certain knowledge. After evaluating all the collected evidence, the prosecutor's office found that there are no grounds for initiating criminal proceedings regarding the criminal complaint", the spokeswoman of ODT Podgorica, prosecutor Milica Mandić, replied to "Vijesta".

ZIKS filed a report against Sekulić four years ago, after Čujović stated that he had given him 15.000 euros for certain privileges.

Čujović was questioned by the prosecution in April 2015. Then he allegedly confirmed everything he said before the ZIKS Disciplinary Commission - that he gave money to the officer of the Investigation Prison under duress and that the latter "threatened him with the executioners, searches and confiscation of his phone".

Sekulić denied his claims, pointing out that the hacker was setting him up.

In the first instance disciplinary procedure, it was established that the officer of the Investigation Prison committed a serious violation of his official duty, as a result of which he lost his job.

That decision was annulled by the Administrative Court, and in the repeated proceedings, Sekulić was released from disciplinary responsibility.

The interlocutor from the ZIKS administration clarified that in the first-instance proceedings, they established that Sekulić illegally allowed Čujović and the then detainee Vidoje Stanišić to see each other in the Investigation Prison.

"It has been proven that he allowed illegal contact with the accused in the same procedure, and because of that, a decision was made to terminate the employment relationship. "Due to a mistake in the explanation, the Administrative Court annulled the decision, and in the repeated proceedings the witnesses changed their statements and Sekulić was acquitted," said the same interlocutor.

After the filing of the criminal complaint and initiation of disciplinary proceedings, "Vijesti" was told by ZIKS that the proceedings were initiated after Čujović made a statement.

They explained that "during several months of activities, they came to know that indicated the possible unprofessional and illegal behavior of Sekulić", and then filed a dirty prosecution, and informed the court in which the case against Čujović for a million dollar computer fraud is pending.

Apart from Čujović, Stanišić and several detainees, officers of the Investigation Prison also gave their statements before the Disciplinary Commission.

One of them allegedly told that on Sekulić's orders, he took the detainee out of the room every day and took him to the supervisor for an interview. He explained that there were also "night talks", which he was not allowed to attend.

The other officers said that Čujović did not complain to them about the supervisor.

Čujović on the run for more than a year

For more than a year, Montenegro has been looking for a Belgrade hacker, who is being prosecuted in the Podgorica High Court for two computer frauds.

In August 2017, the judge of that court released Čujović on bail and ordered him not to leave Podgorica.

Already in January of the following year, a warrant was issued for him, and according to "Vijesti" information, he escaped in the last days of 2017.

The citizen of Belgrade was convicted by the judgment of the Court of Appeal for fraud and criminal conspiracy.
