This former police officer was deprived of his liberty by order of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT), which opened another investigation against him - on suspicion of participating in drug smuggling, "Vijesti" was told unofficially.

According to the same information, in the past, the same thing happened to dozens of those who had their detention suspended or terminated by court decision - they were deprived of their liberty as soon as they passed the registration desk of the Directorate for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions.

They were all handcuffed by SPO officers, on suspicion of being involved in new criminal acts.

Free few minutes

Stojanović's detention was lifted yesterday morning by the panel of the Higher Court in Podgorica, chaired by Judge Simo Rašović.

They did so by accepting the proposal of the accused police officer's defense attorney, a lawyer Miloš Vuksanović.

The lawyer explained that the defendant spent a year and eleven months in custody, after which the panel of judges, after a short break, accepted the defense's proposal and ordered Stojanović to be placed under house arrest.

However, he did not manage to reach the house because the SPO officers were faster and handcuffed him again at the gate.

Denied guilt

The trial of the police drug cartel continued yesterday with the presentation of the defense of those accused of creating a criminal organization and cocaine smuggling. Stojanović, Ivan Nikolic i Tihomir Adzic In the courtroom, they denied the allegations in the indictment and challenged the Sky application as evidence.

Defendant Stojanović said that he is not a member of any criminal group, stating that he believes that the SDT does not have any valid evidence in this proceeding.

"The accused do not have equal conditions for fighting for justice compared to the SDT," he said.

He also claims that the indictment does not indicate when he allegedly became a member of the criminal organization.

“I have never used the Sky app. The Sky material was filled in to make sense. For me, that material is an interpretation of an interpretation.”

Defendant Nikolić said that the police and special prosecutors did not take a statement from him on time, when it was supposed to.

He emphasized that he was not on the run and that it was in his interest for the proceedings to be concluded as soon as possible and his innocence to be proven, claiming that he was not a member of a criminal group and that he did not use Sky.

He pointed out that he was indicted due to a malicious mistake by the SDT and SPO.

In addition to Stojanović, Nikolić and Adžić, the SDT indictment includes a fugitive police officer Ljubo Milović, fugitive from an international arrest warrant Radoje Switzerland, police officers Ivan Stamatović, Nebojša Bulgarian, Petar Lazovic, Dejan Knezevic, Milan Popovic, Miloš Mišurović, Marko Novakovic, then former president of the Municipality of Budva Milo Bozovic, also Božidar Jabučanin, Aleksandar Keković, Vladimir Bajčeta, Mileta Ojdanic, Filip Zindovic (Kljajevic), Darko Knezevic, Drazen Milović, Ivan Mijatović.
