Police squadron under patronage Zoran Lazović and his son Petra he used private cars of businessmen for his illegal and legal business Ranko Ubović, and not the official vehicles of the Police Department.
It follows from the Police Administration's response that Ubović, nor his company Bemax, never donated six jeeps to that security institution, as Petar Lazović, who calls the businessman, bragged to the criminals through the encrypted application. Tiger.
"We do not have information that the company Bemax or Ranko Ubović, as stated in the submitted questions, donated six cars to the Police Directorate, but we also have information that during the mandate of the then assistant for the Sector for the fight against organized crime and corruption, vehicles that are not owned by the Police Directorate were used in the Department for Special Operational Support in this Police Sector. In this regard, in the period when the Department for the fight against crime is headed by a new management, vehicles that are not owned by the Police Directorate are not used," the answers from the UP state.
From that security institution, "Vijesti" also expects answers to the questions of who approved that the police officers use other people's cars for work, and on whose order the operational, official license plates were used for those vehicles.
HE BRAGGED THAT THE TIGER WAS HELPING THEM
"Vijesti" yesterday published a part of Lazović's correspondence through an encrypted application, which Europol had previously submitted to the Montenegrin investigative authorities.
From those transcripts, it can be seen that the arrested member of the Sector for the Fight against Organized Crime and Corruption, Petar Lazović, boasted via the encrypted Sky application that during 2020, to an alleged drug lord from Pljevlja, Darko Sarić, that Ubović gave them six jeeps for work.
He complained to Sarić that he was giving his money to his colleagues "so that they would follow him"...
"Brother, I can do this with the boys, I shared all my money that I had with the boys, yes Z he doesn't know, in order to be followed, I don't stop and he can't even stop me, he knows. I already gave everything, brother, Tigar participates non-stop, he bought us 6 jeeps", writes the policeman.
He explains that the cars are 2017 - “Toyota, X5 etc”…
"Whatever he asked for, he would give without a word, only I won't ask anyone," adds the arrested security guard.
Petar Lazović explains in messages that Tigar is actually Ubović, and it clearly follows that under the letter "Z" is his father Zoran Lazović, whose photos from the official premises he also shares on the chat...
At that time, the elder Lazović was the assistant director of the Police Directorate for the fight against crime.
Lazović also mentioned the cars used by his team in a group chat with the head of the Kavački clan. Radoj Zvicer and a fugitive colleague Ljubo Milović.
He bragged to them that he was looking for members of the organized criminal group Skalja clan through Budva, in a white "X6".
He also sent a photo showing two cars parked in front of his father's family house - the official Audi driven by the elder Lazović and a black Toyota.
The arrested secret agent mentions those cars several times in his communication with criminals, and he also sends them photos of arrested members of the Skaljar clan while they are being tortured in the vehicles... In addition, he also sent them photos "from the trunk"...
The department for special operational support, informally managed by the younger Lazović, used several luxury four-wheelers and almost always went to the field with three cars each.
Two years ago, "Vijesti" wrote about brutal police torture, mainly against members of the Skaljar criminal clan. However, Lazović's torture squad did not beat only them, family members of arrested members of the Kavac criminal clan also addressed the newsroom.
They claimed that they were beaten by Petar Lazović and the thugs from his Department in order to keep silent in the prosecution about their connections with the heads of the clan to which they belong.
The police then replied that their officers were acting legally and that they would reward them. Europol, however, found that the situation was different.
According to the Sky documentation, which was extracted from the encrypted phones used by some officers of the Department, it can be seen how they kidnap people, illegally keep them in apartments or forests, beat them, choke them, torture them with electricity, threaten them, belittle them - they treat them extremely inhumanely...
According to numerous testimonies of the tortured, they did this precisely using the cars that the younger Lazović mentions.
"They put me in 'X5', and then they started harassing, hitting, cursing, threatening..." is just one of the testimonies...
And the people of Cetinje Nikola Drecun i Marinko Rajković they claimed that the policemen drove them in a "BMW" car to a forest about half an hour's drive from Nikšić. There, as they claim, they were tortured... SDT suspects the two of them to be part of the Kavac clan.
However, although some suspects of serious crimes two or three years ago mentioned Lazović as the policeman who tortured them, he was handcuffed only last year.
ACCUSATIONS
The former secret agent was arrested on July 18, 2022, and the SDT accuses him of working for the mafia, instead of against it, as an employee of the National Security Agency, temporarily assigned to the police SBPOKK.
Mlađe Lazović is accused of working for an organized criminal group, the Kavački clan, under the guise of an officer of the Police Department.
At the beginning of January, the Special Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment against him, a fugitive police officer Ljub Milović, Radoja Zvicer, Slobodan Kašćelan, Radoje Živković, Nikola Spasojevic, Milan Vujotić, Duško Roganovića, Radovan Mujović, Radovan Pantović i Nikša Perović.
According to the indictment, that criminal organization was formed in the second half of 2020 and, in addition to Montenegro, operated in South America, Africa, Europe and Australia. The defendants are charged with several serious crimes, such as serious murders, attempted murders, smuggling of drugs, weapons and cigarettes, as well as abuse of office.
Lazović is included in several other SDT cases, all of which relate to the organized criminal group Kavčani.
During the presentation of his defense, he denied the commission of criminal acts, claiming that he arrested the members of that clan, and did not associate with them.
Lazović's legal team previously announced that their client's exposure to public opinion and condemnation has been ongoing for more than a year.
They stated that there is no evidence against him, except for the messages from the Sky ECC application.
We have information that during the mandate of the then assistant for the Sector for the fight against organized crime and corruption, vehicles that are not owned by the Police Administration were used in the Department for Special Operational Support in this Police Sector," replied the UP
They took me out of the station, put me in the 'X5' and started harassing me, hitting me, cursing me, threatening me. The driver, I think his last name is Lazović, told his colleagues to grab my hand and hold it out. From the bag, with a glove on his hand, he took out a gun with polished numbers and demanded that I squeeze it in my palm, and then put it back in the same bag. Then he said: 'You shot us with this gun, that's why we're going to kill you, you know,'" is one of the torture testimonies that mention the cars Lazović talks about
