The clan war began with an attack on Vujotić
Milan Vujotić, from Podgorica, was required to report to the police in Turkey for a long time because he was on trial for participating in the organization of the murder of the leader of the Škalja clan, Jovan Vukotić, who was killed in September 2022 in Istanbul.
It is unknown where Vujotic is currently located.
Earlier this year, Vujotic was the only one acquitted of charges for the murder of Vukotico, while his close associates Radoje Zivkovic, Zdravko Perunovic, and Zeljko Bojanic were sentenced to life imprisonment in Turkey.
Milan Vujotić was also the first target in the war between two warring clans - in February 2015, a devastating explosive device was activated under his car in the Blok 5 neighborhood in Podgorica, immediately after he got out of the vehicle.
That explosion triggered a long-running clan war, which claimed more than 50 lives.
The Special State Prosecutor's Office has opened several investigations against Milan Vujotić and filed several indictments for organizing murder, attempted murder, drug trafficking...
