Budimir Grujičić, the father of Jovan Grujičić, the suspect in the bombings, accused the police of deliberately "packing" his son into the dangerous context of the clan struggle, which has already claimed many lives.
He wrote this in a letter submitted to the Police Directorate, a copy of which he also sent to "Vijesti".
Grujičić claims that yesterday he was supposed to give a statement in the Special Police Department, but instead he sent a letter asking for a public apology to his son Jovan.
Jovan Grujičić is suspected by the police and the Basic State Prosecutor's Office of being the direct perpetrator of the bomb attacks on the cafe "Grand" and the house of police official Duško Golubović.
The arrest of Grujičić and Benjamin Mugoša raised dust, because of their and the statements of the alleged witness MB that they were abused in the police - the first two in order to confess their guilt, and MB to confirm that he knew something about it.
It is for this reason that the non-governmental organization Action for Human Rights (HRA) announced yesterday that they expected the State Prosecutor's Office to publish information on the actions taken to investigate three independent reports of "particularly cruel police torture".
"Which were filed more than a month and a half ago by Jovan Grujičić, the only defendant for the bomb attacks on the 'Grand' and the house of civil servant Duško Golubović, Benjamin Mugoš, who is treated as a suspect in the investigation of that case, and MB, who is treated as a witness. In the meantime, the spokeswoman of the European Commission, the ambassadors of Great Britain and the USA, as well as the coordinator of the UN system in Montenegro expressed concern and demanded the implementation of an effective investigation in accordance with international standards.
The HRA announced that according to the knowledge of the Grujičić family, he was not subjected to a forensic medical examination of physical injuries:
"Although the competent state prosecutor is obliged to provide such expertise as soon as possible, according to the European standard of effective investigation of torture, as well as according to the Instructions on handling reports of criminal acts of abuse and torture (Tu. no. 10/19), which is the supreme state prosecutor , Ivica Stanković, issued a year ago to all state prosecutors in Montenegro and instructed them to order an appropriate forensic medical examination of persons who are alleged victims of abuse in such cases 'even when there are no visible injuries'. The HRA announced that Stanković did not respond to the letter sent on July 15, in which they asked him to check whether and when Grujičić's physical examination was ordered.
After their announcement - that Grujicic's father Budimir reported the abuse of his son to senior state prosecutor Suzana Milić on June 4, and that the suspect did the same on June 24, reporting it to basic state prosecutor Snežana Šišević on June 24, the Basic State Prosecutor's Office announced in Podgorica. They announced that the baseless and tendentious allegations of that NGO are not aimed at respect for international standards and the protection of human rights, but represent a gross attack aimed at damaging the reputation of the state prosecution organization.
They claim that in this particular case, as in every other case, it was handled professionally and in accordance with the law, but also that during the hearing on May 26, Grujičić did not say a single word that the police officers used force against him:
"In response to the specific question of the state prosecutor about the police's treatment of him, he decisively stated that the police treated him extremely correctly, and that no one put any kind of pressure on him. During this hearing, there were no indications that this person was abused by police officers," said the spokeswoman for the ODT, prosecutor Milica Mandić.
She explains that Jovan Grujičić only told the prosecutor on June 24 that the police officers abused him and that it was immediately ordered that an expert in the field of forensic medicine conduct an expert examination of the complete medical documentation made during the admission of that man from Podgorica to the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions
