Ramaj was forbidden to leave the apartment and his passport was confiscated

Businessman Naser Ramaj from Kosovo was forbidden to leave his apartment and his passport was temporarily confiscated.

The investigative judge of the Basic Court in Kotor, Spiro Pavićević, ordered these surveillance measures for him.

The Ulcinj police arrested Ramaj the day before yesterday after he entered the official premises of the Ulcinj Security Department, the Police Administration announced.

"Enthusiast of Montenegro", as Ramaj described himself, is suspected of having damaged the state of Montenegro for at least two million euros when applying for honorary Montenegrin citizenship.

"The investigating judge of the Basic Court in Kotor, Špiro Pavićević, ordered the defendant RN to undergo surveillance measures, namely: a ban on leaving the apartment, as well as the temporary confiscation of travel documents, which surveillance measures must last as long as there is a need for it, and at the longest until the verdict becomes final, with that that the court will examine every two months whether the applied measures are still necessary", according to the statement of the Basic Court in Kotor published on the website.

The announcement adds that these measures were determined due to the well-founded suspicion that the defendant committed a prolonged criminal offense of tax and contribution evasion from Article 264 paragraph 4 in connection with paragraph 1, and in connection with Article 49 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro.

"The supervision measures are determined on the basis of Article 166 paragraph 2 item 1 of the CPC and Article 166 paragraph 2 item 6 of the cited Law. If the defendant violates the imposed supervision measures, he can be detained," the announcement reads.
