The review of the indictment filed by the SDT against Duško Koprivica, Radosava Koprivica, Strahinja Koprivica and Duško Roganović was held today at the Higher Court in Podgorica.
The presiding judge of the special panel was Judge Nenad Vujanović.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against Duško Roganović, Duško Koprivica, and Strahinja Koprivica for the continued criminal offense of money laundering in the amount of at least 964.850 euros.
Addressing the court, defendant Duško Koprivica said that he would prove his case.
"I beg you, I demand, to accept the indictment, so that I can then present my truth. This indictment is a disgrace to both the police and the prosecution. They imprisoned me for seven months to find an excuse that I would escape. It is obvious that I am a trophy, a prey, so that some of their politicians can say that there are no untouchables," Koprivica stressed.
He reminded the court that he had published a book about certain events in Montenegro, in which he listed certain names, and that those who arrested him now remained silent at the time, and that no one called him out at the time.
"They don't want to understand that the man has a mental problem, Tigar. They are already being punished by God. It turns out that what the politicians say is true. They found no professional, moral, or personal responsibility in me, and I was in places where my foreheads were cracked. They searched my house three times in six months, during the period for which the indictment states that the money was hidden at my house. And they didn't find it, they didn't find anything," said Duško Koprivica.
He added that he did not think he should ask his son-in-law Duško Roganović where he got the money.
"Exactly because I am innocent and did not commit a crime. I propose to the court to confirm the indictment, so that I have the opportunity to chronologically present and prove my truth. This indictment is the result of political pressure, so that I, as a long-time senior police officer, would be accused of a crime, so that I could serve as a trophy. The police and the Special State Prosecutor's Office did their job unprofessionally, they are holding me in custody without evidence. I knew that my son-in-law's family was wealthy. It never occurred to me to ask for money. It is obvious that the hunt is on for me when I mentioned the people who recognized each other. I know my truth and that is precisely why I propose that the court confirm the indictment so that I can prove the truth and chronologically present it," said Duško Koprivica.
His defense attorney, Danilo Mićović, said that this indictment does not contain a single piece of evidence. He believes that the suspects did not participate in any disputed communication regarding money. He challenged the evidence in this indictment, which is based on the Sky communication, stressing that it cannot be evidence. He stated that the Sky was obtained through hacking and that it is a mass surveillance, all of which is contrary to the Law and Constitution of Montenegro, and that it constitutes a criminal offense in our country.
"The prosecutor flatly, arbitrarily claims that they knew that there was some money that did not originate from legal flows and that they put it into legal flows. The money is missing, it was not found in the places where it was claimed that it was allegedly kept in the Koprivica house and yard. There is not a single piece of material evidence in the case files that would confirm the prosecution's claims. This indictment is not justified and is not based on the law," emphasized lawyer Danilo Mićović.
