Mihailo Banjević, Duško Đukanović and Đorđe Đurđić were arrested this morning in Podgorica.
"Vijesti" learned that they were arrested in the context of the case in which Dejan Sekulić, the godfather of the president of the Atlas Group, Duško Knežević, was detained.
Banjević, Đukanović and Đurđić were brought to the Special State Prosecutor's Office.
Đukanović was interrogated and released around 12 noon, and Banjević also left the SDT building a few hours later.
His defense attorney Tomislav Dedić told "Vijesti" that the proceedings have been marked as secret and that is why he is not allowed to talk about the hearing.
"Normally, I don't make statements about my cases, which are ongoing," Dedić said.
Đurđić was also released after the hearing.
Banjević was the chief executive officer of Atlas Bank, and he left that position at the beginning of November 2013. He was the vice president of the Atlas Group, and at the end of 2014 he resigned from all the positions he held in that company. In the resignation that Banjević sent to Knežević, no concrete reasons were given for that move.
Banjević graduated from the Faculty of Economics, he was engaged in many managerial positions, the most important of which were: director of the Budo Tomović Youth Center, Secretary of the city SIZ - these social activities in Podgorica, after which he managed the Fund for Culture and Physical Education and the Social Fund for construction land and was the secretary of the Republic SIZ of Health of Montenegro.
He performed the functions of director of the Pension Fund of Montenegro, and then general director and president of the Board of Directors of Kombinat aluminum Podgorica.
Sekulić's lawyer, Zdravko Đukanović, said yesterday that his client was arrested on the order of Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoj Katnić.
Invoking the obligation to preserve data, since the case is labeled "secret", Đukanović did not disclose the details of the hearing. He told TV Vijesti yesterday that his client is charged with two crimes - abuse of position in business and abuse of authority in business.
Duško Knežević is being investigated by the Special Prosecutor's Office for tax evasion, money laundering and abuse of office.
Knežević avoided arrest by leaving Montenegro for Great Britain, of which he is a citizen.
