Basic Court in Podgorica, after the hearing Aleksandar Vukićević (37), decided to maintain the decision from November last year ordering his detention for the criminal offense - criminal association in conjunction with the criminal offense - concealment.

By decision of the investigating judge Borka Lončar, he was ordered to be detained for up to a month due to the risk of flight, as he had been hiding and unavailable to state authorities since November last year.

According to unofficial information, the investigating judge left his previous decision on detention in force due to the risk of recidivism, as he had previously been convicted by a Higher Court verdict for a criminal offense with elements of self-interest - unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotics.

Following Judge Lončar's decision, Vukićević was taken to the Supka Remand Prison.

This thirty-seven-year-old man from Podgorica was arrested on the evening of October 19th in Zeta.

After detaining the fugitive, the Police Directorate announced that he was a member of an organized criminal group.

"Through proactive measures and actions in the implementation of this activity, the Police Directorate identified a strong logistical network that provided support to person AV in terms of hiding and movement. The Police Directorate has operational knowledge of other related persons and continues to take measures and actions aimed at dismantling the network of support for members of organized crime groups," the UP said.

The police, acting on the order of the investigating judge of the Basic Court in Podgorica, searched one of the vehicles and found a pair of license plates that did not belong to that vehicle, while the plates were found to have been stolen from another vehicle. Two large canisters containing a liquid substance, believed to be gasoline, were also found in that car, and other traces were seized for forensic examination.

Vukićević, who was on the run until two days ago, was remanded in custody after that police operation due to reasonable suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of criminal association in conjunction with the criminal offense of concealment.
