The hearing for the control of the indictment against businessman Duško Knežević, the secretary of the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office Nenad Vujošević and three other people for creating a criminal organization and money laundering was postponed today in the Podgorica High Court until April 12, because Knežević's defense lawyer, Nemanja Jolović, requested the exemption of the extrajudicial panel.
He stated that the court did not send a summons to Knežević to an address in London, which is known to the court and the prosecution, and that he was not duly notified.
He added that Knežević was not served with an indictment, and he believes that there are no conditions for the main trial to be held.
In addition to Knežević and Vujošević, former employees of Atlas Bank, Aleksandar Vilotijević, Srđan Pavićević and Olga Stanković, were also accused by the indictment of the special state prosecution.
Knežević is charged with being the head of a criminal organization, Vujošević with being a member of a criminal organization, while three former bank employees are charged with money laundering.
According to the findings of the investigation, Vujošević, at the behest of Knežević, contacted people in the special prosecutor's office who handled cases against him and persons close to him, in order to obtain information from current investigations.
He is accused of having committed criminal offenses punishable by a sentence of six months to five years, or from one to eight years in prison.
Vujošević is suspected of becoming a member of Knežević's criminal organization. Three former employees of Atlas Bank - Vilotijevića, Stanković and Pavićević - were accused of money laundering, and the main orderer of these illegal actions was the president of the Atlas Group, Duško Knežević.
