At the request of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT), the Podgorica High Court blocked the property in Žabljak registered to a former secret agent Duško Golubović, whose real owners, according to the claims of special prosecutors, are the arrested security guard Petar Lazovic and his brother Marko Lazović.
That decision was made on October 1 by the investigating judge Goran Scepanovic, and in the explanation it is written that it is suspected that the temporarily blocked property was acquired through criminal activity.
In the decision, it is written that on September 6, the SDT submitted to them a proposal that, in accordance with the Law on Confiscation of Property Gains Acquired by Criminal Activity, they should once again temporarily block Lazović's real estate in Kovačka dolina, in Žabljak.
They did this in the case against Petar Lazović and other defendants for the extended criminal offense of abuse of official position, the extended criminal offense of unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotic drugs, the extended criminal offense of smuggling and the criminal offense of illegal possession of weapons and explosive materials.
"A temporary security measure is set - a ban on the disposal and use of immovable property with the recording of the ban in the immovable cadastre, from Art. 19 paragraph 1 item 1 and item 63 of the Law on confiscation of property benefits acquired through criminal activity, which refers to real estate - family residential building, floors P + PN, surface area 2 m1, real owner Zoran Petar Lazović, registered in LN 4 **1 KO Žabljak I - Kovačka dolina bb, on cadastral plot 4**7/76; Family residential building, floors P + PN, surface area 2 m1, real owner Zoran Marko Lazović, registered in LN 4**1 KO Žabljak I - Kovačka dolina bb, on cadastral lot 4**7/XNUMX; because there is a well-founded suspicion that the said property was acquired through criminal activity," reads the decision of Judge Šćepanović.
It was clarified that the temporary security measure and the temporary confiscation of movable property can last for the longest time until the decision on the permanent confiscation of property benefits acquired through criminal activity becomes final.
"The temporary measure and temporary confiscation of movable property will be abolished ex officio, if the indictment does not enter into legal force within two years from the date of adoption of the decision on determining the temporary security measure and temporary confiscation of movable property," the decision reads.
The judge clarified that the SDT, by the proposal of Kti.S. no. 12/22 of September 6, 2024 requested the issuance of a temporary measure, i.e. a ban on the disposal and use of the said immovable property, justifying its proposal by the fact that on December 30, 12, after the completion of the criminal investigation, they filed an indictment among other persons and against the defendant Peter Lazović.
In the list of immovable properties for the blocked property, it is written that Duško Golubović is the holder of the right to the extent of 1/1, but the prohibition was registered only on part of that property, which, according to the claims of SDT, de facto belongs to Lazović.
On the other parts, including the ground-floor building with an attic area of 127 square meters, registered as a holiday cottage, no disposal ban was requested.
Accusations
The former informal leader of the Police Team for Special Operational Support, which operated as part of the Sector for the Fight against Organized Crime and Corruption, Petar Lazović, was arrested on July 18, 2022. The former secret agent of the SDT is charged with the commission of the most serious crimes, and the dominant business was related to cocaine smuggling, but also that he subordinated the police service to the Kavaka criminal clan.
Transcripts from the once protected Sky application, which were provided to Montenegrin investigators by Europol, show that he subordinated the service to the Kavak clan, and he bragged to the head of that organized criminal group that he was torturing the arrested, whom they assumed were members of the Skaljar clan, and extorting statements from them. The messages also show that he was carrying out the orders of the head of the bar Radoja Zvicer - beat the skals, arrested them, kidnapped them, but also that he informed him about the punishments that they are allegedly negotiating with the SDT...
Lazović's name is in several cases of that prosecution, and on November 29, 2024, by the decision of the extra-judicial criminal panel of the High Court in Podgorica, two indictments against him were confirmed. That act confirmed the indictments filed by the SDT on April 3, 2024 and April 5, 2023, charging Lazović with having committed the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization and three criminal offenses of unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotic drugs.
In addition to the serious charges brought against him by special prosecutors, several proceedings are pending against him before the basic courts, in which he is accused of abusing and torturing arrested members of the criminal Skalja clan opposed to him, as well as the clan for which he worked, according to the prosecution's claims.
For one of the tortures, which he bragged about through the once protected Sky application, he will not answer, because despite correspondence and medical expertise Srđan Vušurović, accused of creating a criminal organization and attempted murder Aleksandar Jabučanin, the prosecutor decided not to prosecute any police officer.
"After evaluating the case files, the acting prosecutor assessed that the actions of any person did not constitute the elements of any criminal offense that is being prosecuted ex officio," the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica replied to "Vijesta" at the end of September.
Lazović denied guilt in all cases.
