Podgorica resident Marko Martinović was arrested late last night for robbery at a jewelry store in the center of the capital.
This was unofficially told to "Vijesti" by the Higher State Prosecutor's Office (VDT).
Martinović will be questioned at the State Prosecutor's Office today.
Last night, Podgorica police detained Mladen Janković, the former bodyguard of one of the leaders of the Skalja clan, the murdered Goran Đuričković.
This was confirmed by their defense attorney.
The Mikel jewelry store, on Miljana Vukova Street in Podgorica, was robbed on Friday afternoon. Two people pepper-sprayed female employees and stole a large amount of gold.
Martinović is a former bodyguard of the now deceased leader of the Škalja clan, Jovan Vukotić.
He was seriously injured on December 19, 2016, after an explosive planted under the vehicle he was in was activated, while one of the leaders of the Škalja clan, Igor Vukotić, who was not injured, was getting into it.
The Police Directorate (UP) officially confirmed that a member of an organized crime group - MM (47) - was arrested last night on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of robbery by aiding and abetting.
"In the afternoon of May 16, a large quantity of gold jewelry was stolen from a jewelry store on Miljana Vukova Street in Podgorica by two unknown individuals, threatening them with a gun and a spray with an irritating effect," the statement said.
The Police Department added that the suspect, along with a criminal report, will be brought to the acting prosecutor at the Higher State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica for further jurisdiction within the legal deadline.
NOTE: The original version of the text incorrectly stated that the two men were detained on suspicion of involvement in the attempted murder of Igor Nedović. The author apologizes to the readers, Nedović, Martinović, and Janković.
