The Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) appealed against the High Court's decision to exclude from the case transcripts of conversations conducted through the once protected ANOM application.

"The Special State Prosecutor's Office filed an appeal against the decision of the High Court in Podgorica, Kvso No. 29/24, dated November 21 of this year, which separated from the file: a USB flash memory with communications from the now decrypted 'Anom' application, delivered by the Ministry of Justice of the United States of America, translation of certain parts of that communication, from Albanian to Montenegrin language and official notes on the identification of the defendants: DV, BV, SZ, MM, FK, A.Đ and TJ. The appeal was filed with the Court of Appeal of Montenegro, due to a significant violation of the provisions of the criminal procedure and the erroneously established factual situation, and it was proposed to cancel the decision of the High Court in Podgorica and return the case to a new trial and decision, because the evidence which have been separated are legally valid", said SDT.
