The hearing for the review of the indictment brought by the special prosecution against the defendants for the murders of Andrija Gazivoda and Petar Muhadinović was held today in the High Court in Podgorica.

The special state prosecution brought charges against the ten-member criminal organization of Vladan Radoman and Filip Ivanović for the murders of Andrija Gazivoda and Petar Muhadinović in Cetinje in 2020.

The defendants are also accused of planning the murders of Vas Gazivoda, the father of the late Andrija Gazivoda, Miloš Jovanović, Kić Paović, Aleksandar Jabučanin. Special state prosecutor Sanja Jovićević remained with the allegations of the indictment, stressing that the evidence was obtained in accordance with the law and supports the indictment.

The defense of the defendants pointed out that the court should make a decision to stop the proceedings, stating that they believe there is no evidence. They added that it is not clear how the two defendants, who are accused of being the organizers of a criminal organization, are connected when they absolutely do not know each other and had no communication. They also pointed to the shortcomings of the investigation and the unreliability of SKY communication as evidence, and that SKY was not obtained in accordance with the regulations of the law that applies to our country.

Lawyer Branko Anđelić, the defender of Mitar Milanović, stated that this is a man who is a respectable sailor.

"There is not a single message related to Mitar Milanović that would link him to any criminal act," said lawyer Anđelić.

Lawyer Stefan Jokić stated that the defense of Filip Ivanovic completely denies the allegations of the indictment.

"My client is not on the run, as stated in the indictment, he has been in extradition custody since the beginning of the investigation. The prosecutor copied the indictment, in principle it was better for her to accuse and the court to judge. The indictment is based on SKY communication. The biggest misconception of this indictment is the allegations related to the accused Ivanović and Radomani, who had no contact and who do not know each other", said lawyer Jokić.

He added that his client is being charged with criminal offenses that have not been specified, as well as the duration of a criminal offense. And lawyer Mladen Dubak also believes that there is no concreteness in the accusations.

Lawyer Anđelić pointed out that the indictment states that the accused Martinović activated the explosives without specific explanations of the accusation, adding that he is not in the SKY messages either. He reminded that everything started from the press conference when the goal of SDT and authorities was to show that the case was solved.

"Nothing has been resolved. I can understand that she did not drop the indictment for professional and collegial reasons, but putting this number of planning murders through incitement clearly shows what kind of domain the SKY evidence is about," said lawyer Anđelić.

Lawyer Vladan Živković, the defense attorney for the accused Vladan Radoman, said that the defense completely rejects the legal qualifications of such an indictment. He added that the official note contains two SKY communications that the investigation attributes to Radoman.

"SKY evidence is unreliable and prone to change, the Excel spreadsheet is subject to change," stated the defense attorney.

The special state prosecution brought charges against the ten-member criminal organization of Vladan Radoman and Filip Ivanović for the murders of Andrija Gazivoda and Petar Muhadinović in Cetinje in 2020.

The defendants are also accused of planning the murders of Vasa Gazivoda, the father of the late Andrija Gazivoda, Miloš Jovanovć, Kić Paović, Aleksandar Jabučanin. Andrija Gazivoda was killed on February 17, 2020, when, as stated in the indictment, an unknown member of this group, nicknamed "Carlito", fired 15 bullets at him. The SDT named Filip Ivanović and Velibor Stanišić as co-perpetrators of this crime, while Nikola Martinović and Boban Sjekloća were accused of aiding and abetting.

Then on February 27, 2020, Petar Muhadinović from Cetinje was killed while driving from the explosion of a bomb that was placed under the vehicle he was driving. On that occasion, a minor MK who was near Muhadinović's car at the time of the explosion was slightly injured.

Filip Ivanović and Nikola Martinović are accused of the serious murder of Muhadinović. The indictment of the Special Prosecutor's Office includes, in addition to Radomano, Ivanović, Stanišić, Martinović and Sjekloća, Ilija Ivanović, Mitar and Ilija Milanović, Stevan Đurišić and Miloš Joković. The indictment presented that this criminal organization was formed in the second half of 2019 by Radoman and Filip Ivanović for the purpose of obtaining illegal profits and power, while the activity of the criminal organization is planned for an unlimited period of time, with the application of precisely defined rules of internal control and discipline of members, as well as use of intimidation and violence.

Members of this group organized the murder of Andrija Gazivoda for several months. According to the SDT document, at the end of 2019, Stanišić acquired a pistol of an unknown brand, caliber 9 millimeters, from an unknown person and gave it to Filip Ivanović. For several months, Ivanović practiced target shooting with an unknown member of this criminal organization nicknamed "Karlito", while Martinović and Sjekloća followed his movements in the days preceding the murder of Gazivoda and informed the other members of the group, who were supposed to determine the time and place of the liquidation. .

"On the evening of February 2020, 786, an unknown person with the nickname "Karlito" was informed that Gazivoda was at the Cetinje sports center in Grahovska Street, where he immediately left, the indictment says. When Gazivoda left the gym and sat in his car, "Karlito" approached him from the left with his "Volvo" vehicle (CT AS15) and fired XNUMX bullets at him, leaving no chance for him to survive.

Gazivoda, as stated in the indictment, died of bleeding from lacerations of the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, left kidney and ruptured blood vessels along the channel of gunshot wounds, gunshots and gunshot wounds.

The liquidation of Muhadinović, as stated in the indictment, was also prepared for several months. In the second half of 2019, Filip Ivanović acquired an improvised explosive device composed of trinitrotoluene explosives and an electric mechanism for remote activation and handed it over to Nikola Martinović.

In the night between February 26 and 27, 2020, he planted explosives under the front seat on the outside of the floor of the Hyundai of Cetinje (CT AP310) owned by Muhadinović.

On February 27, around 12.30:XNUMX p.m., Muhadinović drove his vehicle towards the city and while driving along the Boulevard of Montenegrin Heroes, Martinović activated an explosive device by remote control. Due to the force of the explosion, both of Muhadinović's legs and left arm were blown off and he bled to death. As stated in the indictment, Martinović, by activating the explosion, endangered the lives of people who were in the immediate vicinity. Then the minor MK was slightly injured in the head area.

The Special Prosecutor's Office accused Ilija Ivanović of having, as a member of a criminal organization from Cetinje, incited Boban Sjekloća to murder an officer of the Special Police Department.

On June 5, 2020, Ivanović sent several messages to Sjekloća via the encrypted Sky application, asking him "to plant explosives under the vehicles of the police officers of the Special Police Department who use the 'BMW X5' jeeps when they come to Cetinje". Ivanović suggested to Sjekloća that he put two kilograms of explosives under three police vehicles each, and when they were moving and passing through the Belveder neighborhood, he would activate the explosives in order to take their lives.
