The Minister of Internal Affairs, Danilo Šaranović, assessed that the police, in cooperation with the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT), arrested over 600 members of organized criminal groups "for nothing" when "very dangerous persons" are released every day.
He said this to journalists during the European forum for disaster risk reduction, which was held in Budva.
"For nothing, the Police Directorate, in cooperation with the SDT and other prosecutor's offices, achieved record results in the previous year - the deprivation of freedom of over 600 members of organized criminal groups who committed the most serious crimes. dangerous persons who are either legitimate targets or perpetrators of serious crimes. In short, the Police Administration is calling for nothing," Šaranović said.
The MP of the Europe Now Movement, Vasilije Čarapić, recalled that together with his party colleague Miodrag Laković, in June he proposed an amendment to the Law on Criminal Procedure, which provided for the possibility of extending detention for up to two years for crimes of organized crime, terrorism, war crimes and crimes for which it is prescribed long-term prison sentence.
"At the press conference held on June 27, we explained the urgent situation for which we are proposing changes to this law, and yesterday's double murder in Podgorica confirms that our concern for the safety of citizens was justified. We are aware that such a solution will not solve the problem of organized crime by itself, but would give the judiciary and security services more room to act. Therefore, I call on all parliamentary groups to support the addition of this item to the agenda of the session that begins on November 12 support the proposal themselves," Čarapić wrote on the X network.
