The Supreme Court extended the detention of Mileto Simanić, Adnan Suković and Prokopije Perić for another three months.

The panel of that court decided this upon the proposal of the Special State Prosecutor's Office on September 1st.

The detention of three defendants was extended due to reasonable suspicion that they committed the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization, and Simanić and Suković were also extended due to reasonable suspicion that they committed the criminal offense of smuggling as co-perpetrators.

The Supreme Court announced that the defendants' detention was extended due to the risk of flight, and for Simanić and Suković due to the risk of recidivism.

The High Court ordered the detention of the three defendants on June 11th, and it was extended by a decision of the panel of that court on July 8th, so that according to the Supreme Court's ruling, it can last until December 9th.

The prosecution suspects them of being members of the criminal group of Sander Stanaj and former secret agent Duško Golubović, which, according to the prosecution, smuggled cigarettes and laundered money.
