In the same action of the local Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP), several persons were arrested in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The institution officially announced that as part of the "Oganj-3" operation, they conducted searches at around 20 locations in the area of Trebinje, Gack, Banja Luka, Posušje and other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This, it says, was done on the basis of court orders.
"The action is aimed at the deprivation of liberty of persons for whom there are grounds to suspect that they have committed the criminal offenses of 'Organized crime' from Article 250, paragraph 3 of the CC of BiH, and in relation to the criminal offenses of 'Illicit traffic in excise goods' from Article 210a. CC BiH and 'Money laundering' from Article 209 CC BiH.

According to the unofficial information of the newspaper, they were deprived of their freedom Aleksandar i Olivera Lucic, an official of the Indirect Taxation Authority (ITA) and the owner of the exchange office Nebojsa Šušić, owner of a transport company Rajko Lečić, Milorad Milošević and Miloš Đajić, Ljubo Grubišić and Ljubo Begić, as well as Veselko Dućanović. Also wanted for Veljko Savić.
In one of the communications from the then-protected telephone program, the escaped policeman Milović told Ninković that he had the Montenegrin and Bosnia-Herzegovina borders under control and that he only needed a company that would serve as a cover for cigarette smuggling.
Milović mostly operated under a pseudonym on that protected phone application Officer, and Ninković with a nickname All.
The first one explained to him that they have "Manchester" cigarettes in stock, and Toti replied that he has his own people who work at the ITA, but that there is no company that would agree.
"The goods from the crossing go to the terminal for inspection and customs clearance, and then they are inspected," says Ninković.
Milović asks him if there is anyone at the terminal that he "can turn a blind eye to".
"I have, but I have to talk to them about how much they would ask for... Because I give them even now, they are just too hungry, they never have enough".
Milović tells him to take a look, because it's the best option, or in fact the only right one.
"The only right... The rest is chopping. We will finish the CG exit from the Port, the border, you finish the terminal".
Niković says he agrees: "To wash the papers... Tomorrow I will sit down with this boss and talk"...
The former employee of the Montenegrin UP then states: "We currently have 1.000 cartons available per week, if everything goes according to plan, we can leave it in Montenegro or export it under the guise, I'm not sure about transit"...
Then Petar Lazović joins the conversation, who calls Ninković to visit them in Montenegro, since "we are not really going out", in order to agree all the details. This one, however, says to sit down with his man first and see if he is up for the job...
"Let me sit down with him tomorrow to see if they are in favor of that combination at all," he says.
"If it's not for that, then let's look at traditional methods to transfer, of course if it's for you... The price dictates everything. Of course. But since we are directly at the source, without intermediaries, I hope we can do the work to our mutual satisfaction"...
Lazović says that Ninković used to pay 600 each for the same cigarettes here and that now it's time for him to take them.
"I'll call you tomorrow, while I'm seeing them, he just left for Bosnia by train, so I'll call you tomorrow afternoon, God willing... Now I've driven 240. Bosnia gets full quickly... HR (Croatia) is the right market"...
He repeats that every newly opened company is inspected in detail and that everything is suspicious if it is not a standard product that the company deals with.
"Well, standard goods are imported, and some of them are disguised as cigarettes... If you have the opportunity to find a company and a customs officer... This is nothing new from what people do," says Milović.
Ninković replies that he is for everyone, but that the problem is that there are no people...
"I'm perfectly prepared, I drive goods 400 kilometers without anything, I've only had a full truck for eighteen years and I've never had a problem, it's all well-established, but as soon as something goes over the paper, they immediately panic and there's nothing to do... What it can be black, that's the best and easiest"...
