Former policeman Vladimir Bajčeta He once claimed that "our people" had formed a parallel government after the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) lost the elections in August 2020 after three decades.
He states this in the phone messages he sent to a person under the nickname The Falcons and which, among other things, offered "services" to the Montenegrin and Ukrainian prosecutors.
"For your information, our people have literally formed a parallel government in the security system," wrote the now-defendant Bajčeta in March 2021.
Vlada Zdravka Krivokapića was formed in early December 2020, and was then elected as the vice president of the executive branch Dritan AbazovicHe was, among other things, responsible for coordinating the security system.
After the changes in the police, Bajčeta and Falcone comment that a list of criminals has allegedly been made with whom the service has begun to deal with...
In that communication, a former police officer claimed to have seen a list that, he says, was made by Abazović.
"They told me that Abazović made a list of all the people who helped the regime, that they would attack them... And this one tells me that he saw my name on that list," reads Bajčeta's message from March 6, 2021.
They talk about it several times, and then a day later he complains to his interlocutor that he just left the Security Center and was searched.
"They told me that Abazović put everyone on the list, including our people, me, and everyone who was connected to the DPS," Bajčeta writes.
Falcone tells him that he has nothing to fear, because the police Special Team has destroyed everything...
"Just to do the searches. He has nothing, and he can't have anything. These guys took everything from the special unit. They have nothing... Well, for no one. They only left what suits them to be found. For themselves, not to protect us," writes Falcone...
"And this one tells me he saw mine on that list, too," Bajčeta repeats.
Falcone, however, tells him there's no reason to worry...
"What can it do to you... There will be an action, I told you, like Sabre. They'll arrest everyone, raid everyone at once," Falcone explains to him.
Bajčeta replies that he is afraid that his gun will be found...
"They'll do it to everyone," Falcone adds.
When asked by Bajčeta that everyone who was connected to the DPS would "suffer", Falcone said he agreed.
"Father, of course... But what can be done, just to do the searches. He has nothing, nor can he have anything... They took everything away from him from the special department"...
Bajčeta is curious about what they took away and who they can't find anything for now: "You mean ours"?
"Well, to no one. They only left what suited them to be found. For themselves. Not to protect us"...
"That's right, brother. Just make sure they don't do anything wrong," Bajčeta replies.
"They won't, brother. They have someone before us," Falkone claimed.
Assistance in the prosecution
As Vijesti already reported, in a conversation with the same interlocutor, Falcone offered those accused of organized crime assistance in the investigations being conducted against them by the Montenegrin and Ukrainian prosecutors.
This Podgorica resident said on Sky that he allegedly has contacts with the top Ukrainian prosecutors and can provide assistance to the head of the Kavac criminal clan.
Allegedly, the same person also offered assistance to the leaders of the Skalja clan in the Montenegrin prosecutor's office...
"Vijesti" has received confirmation from several unofficial sources of the identity of this person, and it is clear who he is from the messages he exchanged, in which he also talks about his family.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) did not respond to "Vijesti's" questions about the correspondence of that Podgorica resident...
In April 2020, Falcone asked Bajceta if he had contact with "the other one in Ukraine", and from the correspondence it appears that he was talking about the leader of the Kavach clan. Happy Switzerland.
"We have made contact with the very top of the prosecution there, they should come visit us in the next few days... You know he is under investigation there. I have some very serious people there," he writes.
The former police officer replies that he read in the newspaper that their friend was under investigation, but that he doesn't know how true that is...
"Because these journalists of ours do as their service tells them," he added.
Falcone replies that he doesn't know if it's true that the investigation in Ukraine is ongoing, so he repeats who is coming to Montenegro:
"But the top is coming here. Private contact. We'll go hang out with them, old man and I, all over the place. Let them get to know the country. Officially, a formal visit. Unofficially, a combination of some kind of private, big one"...
He receives a response from his interlocutor that he will mention it to Zvicer, so they can see, after which Falcone explains that it occurred to him because he could "have a conversation with him"...
"I'll write to him now... I'll write another one, then let you know," the former police officer sends, and asks Falcone to send him his best wishes.
"Brother, we just heard from each other. He says what they're writing in the newspapers is nonsense, because the company was opened with 30 euros and closed like that. And that there's nothing there... But brother, if you can and if you're able, see what they have for him. I'm writing this to you just so you know...", he reached Falcone that night.
"Just to do the searches. He has nothing, nor can he have (Abazović). These guys took everything from the special unit. They have nothing... Well, for no one. They only left what suits them to be found. For themselves, not to protect us," writes Falcone on the Sky app...
Friends from Skye...
Bajčeta is one of those accused of cocaine smuggling, money laundering, abuse of official position...
He was arrested in March 2023 on the orders of the Special State Prosecutor's Office.
The SDT filed an indictment against him and 20 other people with the Higher Court, and the list of defendants includes the head of the Kavač clan Radoje Zvicer, the mayor of Budva Municipality Milo Božović, the until recently assistant director of the Police Directorate Dejan Knežević, the fugitive police officer Ljubo Milović, Mileta Ojdanić, Ivan Stamatović, Nebojša Bugarin, Petar Lazović, Milan Popović, Miloš Mišurović, Marko Novaković, Ivan Nikolić, Goran Stojanović, Božidar Jabučanin, Aleksandar Keković, Tihomir Adžić, Filip Zindović (Kljajević), Dražen Milović, Ivan Mijatović...
His interlocutor Falcone probably used that nickname to allude to the uncompromising fighter against organized crime - Italian prosecutor and judge Giovanni Falcone.
Falcone was born in Palermo, Sicily, and dedicated his life to exposing and suppressing the activities of the Cosa Nostra. As a leading member of the special anti-mafia unit in Palermo, together with his colleague and friend Paolo Borselli, he led key investigations that led to the famous Maxi Trial (1986 - 1992), during which more than 300 mafia members were convicted.
Falcone was killed in a brutal assassination near the town of Kapači on May 23, 1992. That day, at around 18 pm, on the highway they were passing, a half-ton bomb planted in a drainpipe under the road exploded, activated by remote control.
The car carrying Falcone was blown up, while the vehicle he was in fell into a crater. Falcone, his wife and three bodyguards were killed. The Sicilian Cosa Nostra was behind the assassination.
