Retired police official Duško Koprivica's detention has been extended for another three months, until June 24th.
This decision was made by the Supreme Court Council, deciding on the proposal of the Special State Prosecutor's Office from March 17 for the extension of detention.
The statement states that Koprivica's detention was extended due to reasonable suspicion that he committed the extended criminal offense of money laundering.
"Let us recall that the detention of the defendant DK was ordered by the Decision of the investigating judge of the Higher Court in Podgorica on December 25, 2024, and extended by the Decision of the council of that court on January 23, 2025, so that according to the Decision of the Supreme Court of Montenegro, the detention may last until June 24, 2025, until 13:30 p.m."
Koprivica and his wife Radmila were arrested in an operation by the Special Police Department, as suspects in laundering more than one million euros since 2019.
The SDT charges them with being the main "bankers" and keeping precise records of the flows of dirty money that members of their immediate family and their son-in-law are believed to have earned by selling drugs, cigarettes, and loan sharking.
