Cigarettes worth millions were seized yesterday in the village of Vladne near Tuzi - The special police team found almost 2.000 packages of smuggled tobacco in the trailers of the truck owned by Adnan Suković.
Suković was arrested on the order of the special state prosecutor, and the tow trucks with packs of cigarettes marked "Regina" and "HB" were taken to the customs terminal of "Zetatrans" in five rounds during the day.
The police blocked off the central part of the village in Malaysia early in the morning, after which they ordered to open the trailers of 10 parked tow trucks owned by Suković.
In four trucks, they found packages of smuggled cigarettes, which are not in the official register of the Tobacco Agency.
In Montenegro, no one has permission to import "regina" and "HB", so in the coming days the prosecution will investigate how those cigarettes arrived in Montenegro and where the cargo of millions should have ended up.
The driver of Suković's company FS, escorted by the police, brought the first truck with illegal cigarettes to the customs terminal of "Zetatrans", where the confiscated goods are kept, a few minutes before 11:XNUMX.
The last of the five rounds ended around 15:XNUMX p.m. when the last tow truck left the village, where the cigarettes were found.
The trailers with cigarettes remained in the terminal, while the drivers returned the trucks to Vladne.
The parking lot of Suković's company, where the trucks are parked, is dangerous with several rows of barbed wire, so it can only be approached from one side.
Adnan Suković has no criminal record, "Vijesta" was informed unofficially.
In the past two and a half years, it is the second major seizure of smuggled cigarettes in Malaysia.
On March 23, 2017, the police confiscated "Virginia" and "Poppy" cigarettes in the hangar on Karabuško polje.
Because of the smuggling of those cigarettes, the former chairman of the board of directors of the New Tobacco Plant, Isat Boljević, agreed to spend nine months in prison.
In addition to imprisonment, Boljević also agreed to pay a fine of 40.000 euros and 10.000 to the Clinical Center.
After the investigation was launched, the owner of BMJ Industries, Ahmed Bakairat, fired Boljević and hired new management at the New Tobacco Combine.
