To the policemen Danilo Grbović, Dalibor Ljekočević, Bojan Vujačić, Ivan Peruničić i Nemanja Vujošević will be tried for extorting a statement from a resident of Podgorica Marko Boljevic.
This was decided by the panel of the Basic Court in Podgorica, confirming the indictment of the Podgorica Basic State Prosecutor's Office, which accuses five policemen of abusing Boljević in order to force him to commit the bomb attacks on the "Grand" bar and the family home of the former secret agent. Duško Golubović, accuse fellow citizens Benjamin i Zoran Mugoš i Jovan Grujičić.
President of the council, judge Rade Ćetković he reasoned that the evidence collected during the investigation provides sufficient grounds for the conclusion that the defendants, as accomplices, committed the criminal offense of extorting testimony.
"As the president of the council did not establish that in this particular case clarification of matters is necessary to examine the merits of the indictment, nor is there any need to conduct an investigation, and he did not argue that there are legal reasons that could lead to the suspension of the criminal proceedings, i.e. dismissal of the accusation, in this particular case, he made the decision to confirm the indictment in question. The president of the council, making the decision... exclusively evaluated whether there is enough evidence for the existence of well-founded suspicion against the accused, while the assessment of each piece of evidence individually and in relation to other pieces of evidence will be carried out only after all the pieces of evidence have been presented at the main trial. it is written in the explanation of the decision.
Boljević reported two years ago that he was detained in Tivat, on May 25, 2020, and that the officers of the Security Department handed him over to the criminal police officers of CB Podgorica, who took him to the capital and, according to his statement, tortured him psychologically and physically all day, to force him to testify.
Boljević then told the prosecutor that the police officers who picked him up in Tivat shot from the car, put a cotton bag on his head, repeated their pistols and pointed them at his head... telling each other to get off the road and "kill the bitch". ... In the office of the Podgorica police, where, as he claims, they were beating him, they played loud music so that no one would hear Mugoša's wails.
He described that two police officers hit him in the head area - with fists that had boxing gloves on them at the time, and then ordered him to lie on his back and straighten his legs, but also that one of them tortured him with an electric shocker, that they hit him with a baseball bat with a baton, threatened to kill him...
He also said that he asked for a lawyer as soon as he was brought to the office, but that one of the police officers told him to "get the lawyer out of his head."
Vujačić and Peruničić beat and shot
The police officers denied committing the crime in front of the prosecutor. However, according to the indictment, the prosecution established what any of the police officers did that day. They are accused of "by prior agreement and together, as officials... in the performance of their duties, they used force and threats with the intention of extorting a statement... where the extortion of the statement was accompanied by severe violence".
In the prosecutor's files, it is written that Grbović, Ljekočević, Vujačić and Peruničić took Boljević from his colleagues from Tivat in Lapčići, put handcuffs on his hands, behind his back, a black cotton bag on his head, cursed his mother, ordered him to be silent and put him in an official "Opel astra".
"After a few kilometers of driving, the defendant Vujacic, who was sitting on the left side of the injured party, on the back seat, opened the window and fired 4-5 bullets in the air... During the drive to Podgorica, the defendants Vujacic and Peruničić, who were sitting on the left and right side of the victim, took out pistols, repeated them and pointed them at the head of the victim, repeatedly saying: 'Turn somewhere out of the way, kill the bitch', while at the same time the defendant Peruničić punched him several times in the head area... The defendant Ljekočević, who was in the passenger seat, he asked him: 'Do you want us to fulfill your last musical wish?', and then played him the song - My friend is gone," the indictment reads.
In that act, it is added that Boljević, with his hands tied behind his back and a bag on his head, was brought into the office of CB Podgorica, told to sit facing the wall and look at the wall.
"Which the injured party did, and then immediately asked for a lawyer to be called, to which the defendant Grbović replied: 'Get the lawyer out of your head. You have no rights, we have all the powers, we can do what we want, here we are your lawyers, the prosecutor and the judge,'" the indictment reads.
Grbović is also accused of hitting him when he tried to answer his father's phone call, and that after that, with the music turned up, that policeman and Vujacic started beating him. It was clarified that, with boxing gloves on their hands, the two punched him in the head.
The prosecution claims that the two of them knocked him to the floor, after which Vujacic sat on his knees and tortured him with an electric shocker on his thighs and face.
"While, at the same time, the defendant Grbović was hitting him with his fists wearing boxing gloves - in the area of the chest, thighs and head, and the defendant Ljekočević was simultaneously hitting the sole of his sneakers with a baseball bat," the indictment reads.
Grbović removed his genitals, Vujačić tortured him with an electric shocker
It was explained that the police officers then took him to another office where he was interrogated in connection with the bombings, then to a polygraph test, and then returned to the same office where he was tortured and continued the abuse until 21:XNUMX p.m.
"Where they continued to hit him and threaten him until 21:XNUMX p.m., because the injured party repeated to them several times that he knew nothing about throwing an explosive device in front of two houses in Podgorica, after which the defendant Nemanja Vujošević and an unidentified police officer entered that office , who were wearing civilian clothes and phantoms on their heads, and on that occasion, together, they physically attacked the injured party by the defendants Grbović and Vujacić hitting him with boxing gloves on the head and body, from which blows he fell on his back... while was on his back, the defendant Vujačić used an electric shocker in the genital area, while the defendant Vujošević and the NN police officer, while he was lying on the floor, alternately hit him with their fists in the face area and kicked him in the seat area".
The five police officers are accused of threatening to "throw him into the sea between Budva and Jaz" if he does not confirm that the brothers Mugoša and Grujičić planted explosive devices in front of the houses of Duško Golubović and Vuk Mirković.
"Saying that he is neither the first nor the last to end up like that... While he was lying on the floor, the defendant Grbović removed his genitals and said that he would urinate on it if he did not confirm the above," the indictment reads.
That policeman is accused of suffocating Boljević with a plastic bag, and all five of them were accused of threatening him with murder if he did not sign the prepared statement and repeat it at the prosecutor's office, but also if he reported them for abuse.
Although UP and ODT Podgorica announced at the end of May 2020 that they shed light on the bombings, claiming that the brothers Mugoša and Grujičić were responsible for those crimes, they were acquitted.
