The former director of the National Security Agency (ANB), Dejan Peruničić, and his then subordinate, Srđa Pavićević, face up to five years in prison, if it is proven in court that they illegally recorded and followed several people.
The spokeswoman of the Podgorica High Court, Aida Muzurović, confirmed to Vijesti that the Special State Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment against the two and submitted it to the court.
The case was assigned to individual judge Dragica Vuković.
Muzurović explained that the indictment proposal does not pass the classic control of the indictment, but the single judge himself performs a certain control of the prosecutor's act.
Also, in those cases, the panel does not judge, but a single judge.
What differs from the indictment is that the indictment is filed for crimes punishable by a prison sentence of up to five years or a fine.
The SDT recently suspected the former head of the secret service and his then-colleague Pavićević of ordering or carrying out illegal surveillance of citizens.
They are accused of having committed a criminal offense - abuse of official position for an extended period of time.
At the press conference, it was announced that ANB, in violation of the regulations, eavesdropped and photographed most of the then opposition leaders, some journalists, but also the late head of the Metropolitanate of the Montenegrin Littoral, Amfilohi Radović.
According to unofficial, but confirmed information from several sources, the current prime minister Zdravko Krivokapić, the president of the Assembly Aleksa Bečić, the leaders of the Democratic Front Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević, the head of their caucus Slaven Radunović, the mayor of Budva Marko Bato Carević, the MP Milo Božović (DF), the leaders of the United Montenegro and the Socialist People's Party Goran Danilović and Vladimir Joković, Democratic official Boris Bogdanović, as well as journalist Nevenka Bošković Ćirović and Petar Komnenić.
SDT said that, according to the facts established so far, these citizens were wiretapped from January to September 2020.
At the end of August, parliamentary elections were held in which the Democratic Party of Socialists lost power after more than 30 years.
