The investigating judge of the High Court in Podgorica, Suzana Mugoša, accepted the proposal of the special prosecutors and ordered detention for up to 11 days for all 30 suspects for creating a criminal organization.
Marija Raković, adviser for public relations of the High Court, told Vijesti.
Arrested members of two criminal groups were taken to the Investigation Prison yesterday, but the judge used the legal option to detain them for an additional 24 hours until the decision was made.
In the action of the Special State Prosecutor's Office and the Special Police Department, carried out in cooperation with EUROPOL, 11 suspects were arrested for creating a criminal organization and international cigarette smuggling.
Special prosecutors established that those arrested worked under the auspices of two criminal groups.
According to that information, one criminal team was led by Aleksandar Aco Mijajlović and another, as yet unidentified, organizer, whom the prosecutors are looking for.
In the second case, the first defendant is Milan Rogač, who is accused of forming that criminal team.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) named policemen Milenko Mića Rabrenović, Radoj Rabrenović, Dragan Backović and Mirko Mijušković as members of Mijajlović's criminal team, as well as Dejan Jokić, Golub Vojinović, Milan Vukadinović and several persons whose identification the prosecutors are working on.
Prosecutors claim that Zoran Žuti Đukanović and Mileta Simanić from Nikšić are in the Rogača team. Allegedly, that criminal group did not cooperate with the team from the so-called Grand Clan in the illegal cigarette smuggling business.
The High Court told Vijesti that detention was ordered for all those arrested due to the existence of reasonable suspicion that they had committed criminal acts.
