In the document of the European Union law enforcement agency, Europol, in which Libertas had an insight, in which the policemen Petar Lazović (32) and Ljubo Milović (32) were designated as members of the notorious criminal kavak clan, in July of last year the Montenegrin police and the prosecutor's office were provided with data indicating that the two were allegedly "directly involved in the smuggling of large quantities of cocaine from Ecuador to the European Union and Australia".
In the transcripts of the conversation, through the SKY application, on November 30, 2020, Ljubo Milović asked Petar Lazović if there is anyone who has access to the port, because he can send a shipment from Ecuador to any port. He asked if it was possible to safely unload and pick up the package. Milović confirmed that he is currently only working with Rotterdam, and that before that he worked with Istanbul, Hamburg and Antwerp.
"See where there are positions, I can send them everywhere, wherever the ships from Ecuador go, I can send them. Are there controls in a port, so that they can take out the shipment of goods safely? I am currently working in Rotterdam. I worked in Istanbul, I worked in Hamburg and Antwerp. At the moment we are only doing Rotterdam," Milović wrote to Lazović that day.
Already on December 1, judging by Europol's documentation, Milović and Lazović were talking about a potential new business related to the smuggling of cocaine from Ecuador to Europe.
In that document, it is written that Lazović suggested that unloading could be organized in Bulgaria and Greece. Milović explained how cocaine could be loaded and hidden inside the container. He sent several pictures of loaded cocaine to Lazović, who was confiscated by the police, which he confirmed in a message. They have agreed that the shipment will be sent only after they have chosen the port of discharge and after unloading has been arranged.
"Are Bulgaria and Greece interesting", Lazović asks his fellow policeman Milović.
"It is," Milović answers.
"It is most likely there," Lazović tells him.
"That would be great," replies Milović.
"He sends it in a container with other goods, and then the whole container is taken over or it is not carried around the ship, and then it is taken out?", asks Lazović.
“Into the dumpster. With other goods," replied Milović and sent several photos showing the smuggling of cocaine...
Three days later, on December 3, 2020, Lazović informed the user of the SKY application "Miki novi" about the delivery of cocaine, coming from Ecuador to Rotterdam (50-100 kg).
The total quantity of cocaine amounts to 500 kg, with the fact that the delivery, according to the Europol document, will be divided into deliveries of 50-100 kg.
Lazović sent a message that the price of cocaine is 5.300 euros per kilogram, and that the price in Rotterdam is 31.000 euros, which represents a profit of 125.000 euros on five kilograms of cocaine, if 25.000 euros are invested.
He discussed the transportation of cocaine with Milović, who explained to him that the cost of unloading is 15% of the total shipment.
After that, Lazović informs SKY user "Miki novi" (there is no information in the document who that man is) that Ljubo Milović will take 60 kg, and that "Komita" will take 100 kg.
In the document, which Libertas had access to, there is no information about who is hiding behind the code name Komita.
In this communication, Milović uses the code name Batica and Officer.
"Now they are working from Ecuador, they will try something for Rotterdam. If you want, you have a place. Well, what can you do when you see people, we agree, 500 pcs. they have, so they will send. They will be 50-100 pieces each. I think it would be great because of other things. How much will the brother send for himself? Com. is 5.300? Rotterdam 31.000? Five pcs. 155.000 – 125.000 in earnings and 25 invested, right? Minus 15%. 105", is the calculation that Lazović performed in a group with Milović and SKY user "Miki novi".
Milović replied: "There is always a throw out from the investment."
"Is that right? I don't know what I'm going to do. If it passes the test", Lazović answers, and Milović says: "5 pieces - 15% = 4,25 and then that is multiplied by the selling price".
"How much are these 3 pieces of earnings?", asks Lazović.
“I don't know where they're going to sell, brother. I didn't really ask what the price is now. But something like that, around 31.3-15% * 31.000", writes Milović.
"If it goes, I'll do it all. If not, here I am. By when do I have to let you know..." says Lazović and continues: "Ok, if you're going these days, tell them to put in how much. The officer will say 60, the Comita 100, this is unrelated to what I asked you now if you want to go to Rotterdam. They have for Rotterdam, they work there and now they want to do the work, and if you finish this, they will, so they will move... And now they are working independently of what I asked you. Now they want Ecuador, Rotterdam, and if you finish, that's a bonus top they say. And now they are calling in a brotherly way, they have given me a place for this job...", writes Lazović.
On December 11, Ljubo Milović sent a screenshot from a joint chat group in which he, Lazović and Radoje Zvicer, one of the heads of the kava crime group, are, in which he says: "We continue with business".
"The picture represents a bank account statement or a picture of a cryptocurrency bank account showing that the amount in the account is 49.624.511,10 euros," the Europol document says.
Judging by the data from that document, the cocaine was unloaded at the port on December 17. The document does not state in which port the drugs were unloaded.
Milović writes in the chat group: "Now, here is this moment, they are reporting that a box has come off the ship. It's on green. We export it in the morning. I go to sleep. I am on the phone again since five in the morning. We are still waiting. We will not leave the port until tomorrow. I'm going to arrange for the goods to be picked up."
He writes to Lazović on December 26, 2020: "Ten goes for you in this tour and in 15-20 days we will do another job".
"Do you have a picture?" Lazović asked him.
Officer Milović sent him a photo of the New Year's tree under which, as gifts, he allegedly placed packages of the drug cocaine.
After that, Lazović wrote to Zvicer: "Everything, brother, and everything you need." I told the officer now, when he is working in 20 days, to insert 2,3 pieces to treat the guys, to help them".
"The officer is a real brother," replied Zviter.
“Yes, the real one. I know you don't need it, but I want him to insert 2-3 pieces from me. to honor yours," writes Lazović.
"No matter what, brother, as soon as something happens to me, I'll save it for you," answered Zviter.
In the Europol document, it is written that on January 1, 2021, two other shipments will arrive at the port.
"No, they won't be able to, it's not a complete team for the holidays in the port. We are waiting for the holidays to pass, so we will probably do two in a row," Milović wrote to Lazović that day.
Seventeen days later, he informed him: "We cut it in half, everything is great".
Milović writes to Lazović on February 6: "Everything is ok for now. On green. Transferred goods to the green bin. Out of port on Monday".
"Did I tell you that everything and every next one will be ok?" When are you filling the other one?", Lazović answered him.
"If it goes well, Wednesday," replied Milović and sent him a photo.
On February 13, Milović informed Lazović: "The boat was torn apart, I wrote on the 22nd." They replaced us with 100 pieces of goods in total. They brought us garbage".
"Tomorrow we are doing a new job. How much will you see? And how much will you pay for Australia?" Milović asks Lazović on February 18, 2021.
Lazović asks him how much he wants.
“Tomorrow and when Australia? How much should I count a piece of this that came out? 26.000? Or?" he asks Milović.
"Batica will make a bill, he can see everything and how it costs with him. I still don't know how much I will have, I have to do the distribution," Milović said.
"How long do I have now to see what we will do for Australia tomorrow?" asks Lazović.
"I gave for 36, now the price has dropped, so it can be 34", writes Zvicer.
Milović tells Lazović in that chat group that he has been paid 22 in that tour that started.
“Okay. I am writing to him now. How much is left in total?" Milović asks, and he sends him a photo with the calculation.
"It turned out, he added that you had money earlier, 16 and something, then took away the job that started. You have over 100 hours left," writes Milović.
“106 is 22? Will I fix it tomorrow? I bought a piece from Oficir because I got 10 more. So I bought the one from Oficir and they bought 2 more from Oficir," writes Lazović.
Milović replies that he hopes they understand him.
"I hope that I write so that it can be understood. 116.600 are 22 pieces".
The Swiss asks: "Which AMG?".
“I don't know, dude, follow your gut. Check with the officer, make arrangements and I'm here. Okay, dude. I do not know. I haven't talked to him about the details yet. 21 pieces is 111.300 and you have 107.620. So only 3.680 is missing. Take it easy, as one man would say. Oh, I'll see you tomorrow, my wife came, so I'll come for a while. I don't know how much it will sell for, you can see that a lot of goods are coming out. As soon as the market is flooded, the price drops, but, well, if it is 25. About 880.000. You're a little short of being a millionaire, hahahaha. You will do that with the job of Australia", writes Milović to Lazović.
The Swiss replies: "Yes, we're going in bursts, the price is 80-90 h in Australia. So we create paramilitary formations".
“Yes, bro. The fact that he sails is very important to the Officer. There's a lot," says Milović, who uses the names Zli poručnik, Oficir and Batica in SKY communication. He had multiple encrypted phones.
Petar Lazović used the name Junior and Komandos, and Radoje Zvicer Born.
"It's not for Aus because it's like 300 for the EU," explains Zvicer.
“I didn't know the details for Australia. And the officer, yes. A little, not terrible. It's like it's his first time swinging hard, it's not like this, but for the money he had then, he still swung hard. Hahahahaha. You are the same him. Without a brother, who brings you together. Slowly, there will be time, there will be time for this job," Milović writes about himself in the third person.
"I'll pay 100, but I'm telling you, it's not funny because the price is three times higher than in the EU. Don't force it, if it passes, we'll turn around a few more times, it's my boat", says Zvicer.
In a chat group, in which Lazović, Milović and Zvicer are, on February 19, 2021, Lazović informs that he "paid off 140 thousand in debt to Batica".
"Now I am zero and we are waiting," wrote Lazović.
On March 6, 2021, he wrote: "I don't know about you, but as it got closer, it was like electricity."
On that day, Milović informed him that he was coming on March 8.
"And the other msc, was it moving?", asked Lazović.
“No. Changed the line. We are waiting for the schedule," Milović replied.
"If Montenegro would be interested in undertaking an investigation in connection with the cocaine smuggling of Milović, Lazović and other members of the Kavačka clan, please send Europol a request for raw data. Given that Milović sent almost over 100.000 messages through his SKY account, it is impossible to analyze all messages," Europol officials wrote in the document and gave it to the Montenegrin prosecutor's office.
However, on January 20, 2022, the Special Prosecutor's Office made a decision that "there are no grounds for initiating criminal prosecution against any person for any criminal offense for which prosecution is undertaken ex officio".
The former chief special prosecutor, Milivoje Katnić, said that Petar Lazović "acted in accordance with the law and authority" and that he "informed his superiors about all actions, which contributed to the discovery of the perpetrators of serious crimes".
"One never arrests one's own agents. At least they haven't until now," said Katnić on May 5 of this year.
A day earlier, the Special Prosecutor's Office, which is now headed by Vladimir Novović, announced that a new case had been formed due to the Europol report, which had been archived.
"The investigation directed at Lazović and Milović should be the number one priority of the Montenegrin police", is the key conclusion stated in the Europol document.
Libertas will not publish the codes under which the encrypted phones were registered in the application, but only the code names or user names so as not to harm the investigation.
