In the Basic State Prosecutor's Office (ODT) in Rožaje, a criminal complaint was filed yesterday against Asim Murić, due to the suspicion that he committed a criminal offense - illegal business, banking, stock exchange and insurance activities (Article 266 of the Criminal Code).
"The criminal complaint was filed because he illegally built a plant - separation and illegally exploited gravel and sand from the Ibar riverbed in the village of Bać, to the detriment of the budget of Montenegro," said an interlocutor to Vijesti from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Representatives of state bodies recently announced that they are starting an uncompromising fight against illegal gravel exploitation and that they will not be privileged.
Officials said at a recent press conference that numerous construction companies and individuals illegally extracted tons of sand from riverbeds and devastated river courses, as well as that every stone extracted from Montenegrin rivers since the end of 2020 was extracted illegally.
Minister of Agriculture Aleksandar Stijović then he explained that the department he manages six months ago began to investigate the problem of exploitation of natural resources and that a working group was formed to determine the factual situation...
"Morača and Cijevna are only the tip of the iceberg. All our rivers - Lim, Grnčar, Tara... will be subject to controls. Since the end of 2020, not a single truckload of gravel has been extracted legally. Every truck with gravel you see on the streets is illegal," said Stijović at a press conference on November 18.
