The pre-trial chamber of the Higher Court in Podgorica decided to merge the court proceedings against former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoj Katnić and former Assistant Director of the Police Administration Zoran Lazović, with the case against former Special Prosecutor Saša Čađenović.
This was done at the proposal of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT).
The case was assigned to Judge Veljko Radovanović.
Due to the merger of the cases, the beginning of the trial of the accused Čađenović was postponed.
In October last year, the High Court's special panel confirmed the indictment against Saša Čađenović.
He was arrested in December 2022 on suspicion of committing the crime of creating a criminal organization and multiple crimes of abuse of official position.
The SDT suspects him of subordinating his official activities to the interests of the Kavača criminal clan.
The indictment alleges that he committed the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization under Article 401-a, paragraph 2, in conjunction with paragraphs 1 and 6 of the Criminal Code, by becoming a member of a criminal organization created in the territory of several countries by the defendant Radoje Zvicer during the second half of 2020, and that the criminal organization's activities have influenced the state prosecutor's office.
Wherein the defendant Saša Čadjenović, as a special prosecutor, with other members of the criminal organization from the Police Administration of Montenegro, in order to implement the criminal plan, agreed to carry out the orders and instructions of the organizer of the criminal organization that were transmitted to him through other members of the criminal organization, to cover up the perpetrators of the most serious crimes and not to initiate criminal proceedings against them.
