Apartments in the Master Quarter that the Special State Prosecutor's Office claims were Radoje Switzerland bought with dirty money and laundered it with the help of the arrested Ranko Ubović and others, the leader of the Kavač clan was offered by the accused police officer in July 2020 Petar Lazovic.

This is shown by the correspondence between Zvicer and the fugitive policeman. Ljub Milović, conducted through the then-protected Sky application.

It follows from their conversation that in addition to five apartments, a large office space in the same neighborhood was also negotiated.

They corresponded about this on July 25, 2020, and initially the Kavčan resident with an official ID complained to the clan boss that Lazović, who Sky addresses as Junior, could ruin his reputation with the drug lord from Pljevlja. Darko Sarić.

During that conversation, they reveal to each other that Lazović is offering them apartments owned by the company of the recently arrested Ubović.

Explaining that Petar Lazović is good and "there's nothing he wouldn't do", Milović explains that he took off because he was corresponding on Sky with him, Zvicer and "the other guy"...

"Imagine what's going through his mind. He went to Ubović yesterday, said they had to participate in the war, that they wanted them," Milović writes.

The coffee shop leader replies that he offered him apartments and business.

"Hahahaha, he says to me, you want a business, an apartment, I said yes, just pay in cash," the Kotor native replies.

Milović tells him that he told him about it too, telling him what Lazović negotiated - that the price per square meter in the duplex they are offering to Zvicer would be 1.300 euros.

"And where, I know. So he calculates, then tells them to come up with a price, then shows me so it doesn't look like it's too much, then shows me the price list. So how much they told him, he's afraid it's not expensive, he's been bringing me pieces of paper for two days. He drove me crazy," Milović writes.

The Kotor resident then replied that he had not told him at what price he could buy the apartments, but that he had said that "it would not be like the others".

"Who knows what they're thinking now," he notes.

The policeman also tells the clan boss that Lazović told him that the "bemaks" offered to let Zvicer choose an apartment, and that they would negotiate the payment. He also says that Lazović's father, at that time, was the assistant director of the Police Directorate Zoran Lazovic, participated in arranging the deal, but also that Ubović agreed to pay in cash...

"They told him to choose and we'll see how the payment goes, he remembered that and didn't give a f*ck. And where, he went to Z, he said the best they could give, and I know it would be a good price. I think the apartment is 1.300, I think a duplex or a business one is cheaper than what they're selling. Then I told Ranko to pay in cash, he said no problem, to find a solution"...

The Kotor resident then wrote to his associate that Petar Lazović had spoken about it before Ubović with "someone who says he is my relative"...

"Hahahahaha, first there's one guy who says my cousin fucked me, that guy's his friend, then there's Ranka, all on the same night"...

Milović tells him that he went to see the business premises they were offering him: "It's a good business premises, there are no pillars taking up space"...

"My wife told me it was the top," says Zvicer...

The Special State Prosecutor's Office has determined that members of the so-called Grand Clan laundered money for Zvicer in over five apartments in the Master Quarter.

In this operation, the owner of the construction company "Master Inženjering" was first arrested on October 10th. Vladan Ivanovic, due to suspicion that Several apartments in the "Master Quarter" that were purchased by the fugitive head of the Kavač clan were left registered to a company in order to conceal the true owner.

In the same operation 17 days later, businessman Ranko Ubović and his business partner were arrested. Veselin Kovacevic.

The day after that, in the same case, the detainees were questioned at the SDT. Zoran Lazovic and recently arrested Aleksandar Mijajlovic and Vladan Ivanovic.

Special prosecutors suspect the five of committing multiple money laundering crimes - in the case of the apartments of the leader of the Kavač clan, Radoje Zvicer, in the Master Quarter, as well as the Bemaks apartments in the "Perla" building in Budva.

It is known who took care of the apartments.

"Vijesti" published details of court documents about the case a year ago, according to which Zvicer's wife Tamara She once warned a worker who was furnishing apartments in the Master Quarter not to tell police inspectors whose properties they were and who he worked for, at any cost.

She did this, she writes, after he called her on the phone and informed her of the inspector's presence.

The Supreme Court stated this by approving the request for protection of the legality of the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office and determining that the final decision of the Higher Court in Podgorica of October 10, 2023, violated the law in favor of the accused head of the Kavača criminal clan.

The investigating judge of the Podgorica High Court first made a decision temporarily confiscating those apartments due to the suspicion that they belong to the Swiss and that they were acquired with "dirty" money, but that decision was rejected after an appeal by the private company to which they are formally referred...

The Supreme Court stated that it was Radoje Zvicer's wife who took care of furnishing those five valuable properties, which, among other things, indicates that they were owned by them, and not by the company "Master Inženjering", as officially registered in the cadastre.
