Instead of putting 1.248 euros into the state coffers, the amount that the entrepreneur from Nikšić had to pay for the permit for oversized truck transport, the policeman let him continue with that load, and the policeman in return bought him four car tires and poured 50 euros of fuel.

The two were detained after questioning, and the prosecutor released the other arrested police officers to defend themselves.
