Yesterday, the investigation of the robbery of the High Court depot continued in the Basic State Prosecutor's Office with the hearing of three witnesses, Vijesti has learned.

According to the same information, members of the immediate family of those accused of that criminal act testified before the prosecutor.

So far, several suspects have been arrested in the investigation of the robbery of the depot, and the police and the prosecutor's office are determining the motive and trying to find the perpetrators.

Due to the suspicion that they are involved in that criminal business, by order of the basic state prosecutor Marko Mugoša, handcuffs were put on Predrag Mirotic, Katarina Baćović, Ivica Piperović, Nikola Milacic i Marijan Vuljaj.

One of the suspected tunnel diggers, Vladimir Eric from Loznica, was arrested at Stockholm airport while trying to board a flight to Belgrade.

The police are still looking for his fellow citizens Dejan Jovanović, Veljko Marković and his uncle Milan Marković.

The burglary of the court depot was noticed on September 11, when the authorities first determined that someone had "just" rummaged through the evidence. However, while the investigation in the general depot and the cursory list of evidence in the most important cases was still ongoing, it was discovered that the thieves entered the depot through an underground passage from Njegoševa Street number 12...

The first major clue in the case, the van used by the suspects, was found by the police on September 13.

A day later, they also found an apartment in the Podgorica neighborhood of Zabjelo, where their base was allegedly located.

Mirotić, who is suspected of driving the tunnel diggers from Zabjelo to the city center when they were going to build an underground passage to the High Court depot, was arrested on September 23.

The prosecutor's office and the police have so far determined that several weapons and several mobile phones were stolen from the depot - evidence in the cases that are pending before the High Court.
