After the hearing, the investigating judge of the Podgorica High Court, Goran Šćepanović, sentenced the brothers Mirko (30) and Petar (35) Cicmil to custody for up to 34 days.
This is what Ivana Vukmirović, an independent consultant for public relations of the High Court, told Vijestima.
"The decision of the investigating judge of the High Court in Podgorica left in force the decision on ordering custody in relation to the defendants PC and MC for the criminal offenses of creating a criminal organization from Article 401a paragraph 1 in connection with paragraphs 2 and 6 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro and smuggling from Article 265 paragraph 2 and 3 in connection with article 23 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro," she said
Mirko and Petar Cicmil were arrested by members of the Special Police Department (SPO) yesterday on the order of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (STP) for smuggling cigarettes.
According to the information of Vijesta, the two were deprived of their freedom after they came to the premises of the Special Police Department yesterday and surrendered to the inspectors.
SDT suspects the Cicmil brothers of being members of an organized criminal group that smuggled cigarettes, allegedly organized by businessman Saša Pekić.
Pekić was arrested on December 27, 2024, when SPO members handcuffed police officers Predrag Vučurović, Dragan Backović and Predrag Mijušković. On that day, Srđan Jokić and Goran Janketić were also deprived of their freedom
That action, "Vijesti" sources said earlier, followed several months of work on gathering evidence against the most important pillars in the multi-year, international cigarette smuggling scheme through Port Bar.
