The Court of Appeal extended the detention Goran Brajović from Podgorica, as well as Colombians Costan Casa Jose Alexander i Caicedo Bandoya to Juan David, due to the well-founded suspicion that they committed a criminal offense - the creation of a criminal organization, formed with the aim of committing an unspecified number of serious criminal offenses - murders in Montenegro.
That decision confirmed the decision of the Higher Court in Podgorica, which extended the detention of the defendants.
The appellate court assessed that the first-instance court, based on all the facts established in the proceedings, drew the correct conclusion that in relation to the defendants Jose Aleksandar and Caicedo Juan David, the extension of detention on the basis of detention under Article 175 paragraph 1 point 1 of the CPC was justified. that is, because of the danger of running away.
"It follows from the case file that the defendants Jose Aleksandar and Caicedo Juan Davidu are reasonably suspected of having committed the criminal offense charged against them by the indictment of the Special State Prosecutor's Office of Montenegro. The well-founded suspicion stems from the defense of the defendant Juan David, who essentially admitted to committing the criminal offense he was charged with, and stated that in Colombia, where he lives, he was asked by a person to come to Montenegro and kill a man, which he and accepted, so together with his acquaintance from Colombia he came to Montenegro, describing the course of his journey and the fact that they were always waited for by other persons and transported to the border of Montenegro (Montenegro) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina), so that a third party would pass them by border crossings illegally brought them into Montenegro, where they were stopped in a white vehicle by this person who brought them into Montenegro and that they were supposed to be transferred to some location unknown to them," the court's decision reads.
It is stated that the validity of the suspicion stems from the defense of the defendant Jose Aleksandar, who also, as stated in the text, admitted to the commission of the criminal act...
He, it is added, said that there was an agreement to come to Montenegro and kill one person for the amount of 25.000 euros, whose identity they did not know at the time of the agreement, but that they would be told after they arrived in the country.
"They were supposed to do all that for the amount of 25.000 euros, and if they were later ordered to kill someone else, they would have done it. As the reason for the liquidation, the defendant states that he understood from the story that it was about some kind of rivalry, but he was unable to explain what kind of rivalry it was, with the fact that he states that the people who hired him are serious, in the sense that it is an organization that is very large and dangerous", according to the decision of the Court of Appeal.
