I was informed by my colleagues from CB Nikšić that two citizens of Colombia illegally crossed the border and entered the territory of Montenegro. I was also informed that encrypted phones were found with them. I had a conversation with the accused Aleksandar. At the beginning he told me that he was convicted of murder and that the reason he is coming to Montenegro is murder, that he is a person who "guilty of the disappearance of a ton of cocaine", who lives in Montenegro. He described the circumstances of how he came to Montenegro. He said that a person from Colombia named Pasija offered him 25.000 euros for that murder. He said that Pasija connected with another accused who is also from Colombia," said Andušić.
He added that he did not tell the accused Aleksandar what to state in the statement he gave in his capacity as a citizen in the room of CB Nikšić. "
His statement was confirmed by Interpol and other services. How could I have known that he was previously convicted of murder," said Andušić.
He stated that no one had physically attacked the accused Aleksandar, and that he had not been pressured by the officers of the Police Directorate.
