Lawyer Damir Lekić claims that the Montenegrin prosecutor's office filed two indictments for the same event - the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica on June 4, 2020, and the Special State Prosecutor's Office on September 15, 2023.
He also claims that for the same life event - planting explosives, these prosecutions charge different people, ODT Ćazim Turusković and Aleksandar Dacić, and their colleagues from SDT Ljub Milović, Miloš Mišurović and Aleksandar Keković.
In a press release delivered to the media, Lekić pointed out that the "scandalous and inexplicable" behavior of ODT Podgorica in the case which, according to his indictment, is pending before the Basic Court in Podgorica, under the business code K. no. 342/22 against the defendants Turusković and Dacić.
He explained that ODT Podgorica is charging the two because of the existence of reasonable suspicion that on 27.01.2020 in Podgorica, aware of their acts, the execution of which they wanted and knowing that their acts were prohibited, contrary to Art. 37 st. 1 of the Law on Explosive Substances, unauthorized possession of explosive material - military explosives, the acquisition, possession and use of which are prohibited for citizens, and the defendant Aleksandar Dacić caused a danger to property whose value exceeds 20.000,00 euros with an explosion, as a generally dangerous act:
"In the way that the defendant Ćazim Turusković handed over to Mihailo Kićović a white bag containing an improvised explosive device, without Mihailo Kićović not knowing what was in it, so that at his request he would give the same to the defendant Aleksandr Dacić, which is Mihailo Kićović did so, handing it over to the defendant Aleksandar Dacić near the hotel 'Ziya', after which the defendant Aleksandar Dacić placed the aforementioned improvised explosive device around 04:30 in front of the catering establishment 'Štrudla', owned by the injured Sava Rakočević at Bokeška Street No. 16 made of a detonator capsule, a slow-burning stick and trinitrotoluene (TNT) which was previously activated by lighting a fuse, as a result of which a concrete danger was caused to the property of the injured party worth 240.240,00 euros, in which case, due to the effect of the explosion, the front door of the designated restaurant was broken and the breakage of the awning structure in front of it, in which way the damage in the amount of €9.637,04 was caused, by which (according to that indictment) the defendants Ćazim Turusković and Aleksandar Dacić, as co-perpetrators, committed the criminal offense of illegal possession of weapons and explosive substances from art. 403 st. 2 regarding Art. 23 st. 2 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro, and the defendant Aleksandar Dacić in connection with the criminal offense of causing general danger from art. 327 st. 1 CC of Montenegro. Regarding this, I am submitting an extract from the indictment of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica as an attachment to this text for these media," wrote Lekić.
He clarifies, however, that the SDT is charging the defendants Milović, Mišurović and Keković with the same criminal offense, and that they filed an indictment against them also due to the existence of reasonable suspicion that:
"...In January 2020, the defendant Ljubo Milović, aware of the act he wanted to commit, contrary to Article 5 paragraph 1 in relation to Article 4 paragraph 2 point 7 of the Law on Weapons, unauthorizedly produced and kept explosive material - explosive weapons made of 500 grams of trinitrotoluene, a detonator cap and a slow-burning stick, the acquisition, possession and carrying of which are prohibited for citizens, and the defendants Miloš Mišurović and Aleksandar Keković and a person named Malden and nicknamed Mađo, aware of the act they wanted to commit, contrary to Article 5 paragraph 1 in connection with Article 4 paragraph 2 item 7 of the Law on Weapons, unauthorized acquisition and possession of explosive material - explosive weapons made of 500 grams of trinitrotoluene, a detonator capsule and a slow-burning stick, the acquisition, possession and carrying of which are prohibited for citizens, and then given On January 27.01.2020, 04 in Podgorica around 20:16 a.m. in Bokeška Street No. 20.000,00, the defendants Ljubo Milović, Miloš Mišurović and Aleksandar Keković and a person named Mladen and nicknamed Mađo, aware of the crime they wanted to commit and of their community, exploded in front of the restaurant "Strudla" caused a danger to the life and body of people and to property whose value exceeds XNUMX euros"....
The SDT also explained that Milović made an explosive device consisting of 500 grams of trinitrotoluene, a detonator capsule and a slow-burning stick, and then gave an order to the defendant Miloš Mišurović to hire people who would activate the explosive device in the restaurant "Štrudla" for a sum of money. They also claim that he gave the explosive device to Mišurović:
"So, the defendant Miloš Mišurović hired the defendant Aleksandar Keković and a person named Mladen and nicknamed "Mađo" to execute the given order, who agreed to activate an explosive device in the aforementioned catering facility, on which occasion he handed them the explosive weapon obtained from the defendant Ljubo Milović, so on October 27.10.2020, 04, at around 20:240.240,00 a.m., one of the two men placed the aforementioned explosive device in front of the "Štrudla" restaurant owned by the victim Sava Rakočević, which he previously activated by lighting a slow-burning fuse, after which an explosion occurred, resulting in the caused concrete danger to the life and body of the injured persons Ilma Hadžić, Srđan Milić, Slavko Darmanović and Aleksandra Jevrić who were in the vicinity of the explosion, as well as a concrete danger to the property of the owner of the "Štrudla" restaurant, Sava Rakočević, which is worth €9.637,04, and as a result of which explosion there was a break in the front door of the designated restaurant and a break in the structure of the awning in front of it, in which way the damage in the amount of €4.000,00 was predicted, after which the defendant Ljubo Milović gave the defendant Miloš Mišurović money in the amount of €2.500,00, 403 €, from which amount the defendant Miloš Mišurović handed over to the defendant Aleksandar Keković and a boy named Mladen and nicknamed "Mađo" the amount of €2, with which (according to the indictment) the defendants Ljubo Milović, Miloš Mišurović and Aleksandar Keković as co-perpetrators committed the criminal offense of illegal possession of weapons and explosive substances from Art. 23 st. 2 in connection with Art. 327 st. 1 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro in conjunction with the criminal offense of causing general danger from Art. 23 st. 2 in connection with Art. XNUMX st. XNUMX CC of Montenegro. Regarding this, I am submitting an extract from the mentioned indictment of the Special State Prosecutor's Office of Montenegro for these media as an attachment to this text," wrote Lekić.
He points out that a simple analysis of the factual description of the two indictments clearly shows that both deal with the same life event, namely the activation of an explosive device at the restaurant "Štrudla" that happened on January 27.01.2020, 04 at around 30:XNUMX a.m. in Podgorica.
"Also, it can be clearly seen that these two indictments for the same life event are treated by different persons. The indictment of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica charges the defendants Ćazim Turusković and Aleksandar Dacić for this event, while the indictment of the Special State Prosecutor's Office of Montenegro for that identical event the defendants Ljubo Milović, Miloš Mišurović and Aleksandar Keković are charged. How it is possible that this happened is really a big question, and also a huge question is how it is possible that the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica continues to charge for this life event, i.e. prosecute the defendants Ćazim Turusković and Aleksandar Dacić, that is, the question arises as to how it is possible that until today the criminal prosecution for the criminal acts arising from this event in relation to these two persons has not been abandoned, and this is especially so given the fact that the indictment is not the first stage when was the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica able to know about such facts and data, that is, in accordance with its legal obligation, it had to know, and when it was obliged to immediately take all measures and actions within its competence without any delay in order to prevent this from happening or to prevented as soon as possible, the first stage when it could be known was the reconnaissance, and then the investigation, which two stages were carried out by the Special State Prosecutor's Office of Montenegro, and which stages preceded this stage in which the indictment was filed by the Special State Prosecutor's Office of Montenegro To the higher court in Podgorica, the department for the suppression of organized crime, bribery, corruption, terrorism and war crimes, which treats the same life event as the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, but with completely different perpetrators of criminal acts," said the lawyer.
He added that such behavior of the ODT in Podgorica is unfortunately tantamount to a "scandal".
"Because it allowed two separate criminal proceedings to be conducted in literally everything for the same life event before different competent courts, against different persons, some of whom must be innocent in one of those two criminal proceedings, and obviously these are the ones that are covered by this" "unfortunate" indictment of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica, and which apart from this deficiency, the indictment also suffers from many other major deficiencies, which, starting with this truly unimaginable one, make the criminal proceedings conducted before the Basic Court in Podgorica meaningless.
Lekić points out that this behavior of the ODT in Podgorica is unimaginable and incredible, and that the question arises as to why they do this and how it is possible that two separate criminal proceedings are being conducted before different courts, against completely different people, on the same life event under two different indictments. faces:
"...And which proceedings make each other completely meaningless, because it is obvious that the participants in one proceeding are innocent, and unfortunately they are still zealously prosecuted, and in relation to them, for example, there has still not been a verdict dismissing the accusation due to the withdrawal of the state the prosecutor from further criminal prosecution or some other decision favorable to them, although this is the obligation of the state prosecution, and in this case obviously the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica. In this state of affairs, I believe that the actions of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica should really be more than reconsidered in this and in other cases, as well as his motives for such actions, which I appeal to be done as soon as possible. Finally, as I said before, I am submitting both indictments to the media, which it is necessary to publish in these parts in order to inform the Montenegrin public about to all that I have stated here and to all that is happening in our judiciary, where currently different people are being charged in different courts for the same life event, and especially about what the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica is doing in this particular case".
