Accused Special Prosecutor Sasa Cadjenovic, temporarily removed from work, sued the state for damages based on allegedly less paid salary, special allowance, unpaid vacations, transportation costs, overtime and night work with interest on all penalties during the long period of his prosecutorial involvement.

Čađenović's lawsuit, represented by a lawyer Vaso Bečanović, was submitted at the beginning of May, but the civil claim did not specify the amount, which the detained special prosecutor is demanding, but it was left for the amount of each item to be specified individually after the expert examination.

The suspended special prosecutor requested a difference in the name of the less paid special allowance for the period from September 2016 to May 2017, but also during the year 2020, with default interest for individual amounts, which will be determined by the expert opinion.

In his lawsuit, Čađenović is asking the state to pay, as he stated, less calculated overtime hours in the period from August 2008 to February 2015.

Čađenović requested that the state pay him money for work during national and religious holidays, unpaid night hours - starting in August 2008, when he was deputy state prosecutor in the Basic State Prosecutor's Office (ODT) Podgorica, until the suspension of the Prosecutor's Council, who removed the prosecutor from his job three days after he was arrested on December 9, 2022, by order of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (STP).

In addition, Čađenović, who is still in custody in Spu, also requested the payment of money due to, as stated, less money paid for unused vacations in the period from August 2008 to 2019.

Due to Čađenović's claim, the Special State Prosecutor's Office submitted a statement to the Protector of Property and Legal Interests of the State, which accepted that a peaceful resolution of the dispute would conclude only the settlement for the lesser amount of the total salary paid to Čađenović for May and June 2020.

The second part of the claim was, as Vijesti learned from several sources, rejected at this stage of the procedure, because neither the SDT in the statement nor the Protector of Property and Legal Interests of the State accepted mediation and did not agree to a peaceful resolution of the dispute, which was initiated by the suspended special prosecutor.

The state protector submitted the decision in response to Čađenović's lawsuit to the Prosecutor's Council.

At the end of October last year, the High Court in Podgorica confirmed the indictment against the special prosecutor Saša Čađenović, who is accused of having become a member of the criminal Kavačka clan from mid-2020 until this year.

"The role and task was to remove from the files the reports submitted by Europol in the proceedings against the organizers and members of the criminal organization and the criminal charges filed against them by the police, which he accepted and carried out in several criminal cases, i.e. proceedings", they announced after indictment from the SDT.

The Special Council of the High Court in Podgorica, chaired by a judge Nada Rabrenović, recently accepted the special prosecutor's proposal Miloš Šoškić to separate the court proceedings against Čađenović from the case in which they are accused Radoje Zvicer, Ljubo Milović, Petar Lazović, Slobodan Kašćelan, Milan Vujotić ...

The plaintiffs claim that they were deprived

The Prosecutor's Council responded to the Defender of Property and Legal Interests of the State regarding the proposal for mediation, initiated by the prosecutors in the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office Lidija Vukcevic, and special prosecutors Marija Raspopović and Sanja Jovićević against the proponent of SDT, for the purpose of compensation for the underpaid special allowance for the period of September 26, 2016.

TS responded to the Office of the Defender and against the proposal for a peaceful settlement of the dispute submitted by the retired special prosecutor Mira Samardzic.

She requested the payment of money in the name of duty for the period from 2010 to August 2017, for which she claims she was partially deprived.
