The trial of defendants Radoje Zvicer, former National Security Agency official Petar Lazović, fugitive police officer Ljubo Milović and other alleged members of the group accused of multiple crimes was postponed today to February 20 at the Higher Court in Podgorica.
The president of the special chamber, Judge Veljko Radovanović, said that a hearing of an expert witness from Belgrade via video link was planned for today. Due to the fire at the Special Court in Belgrade, the hearing of the expert witness was canceled.
"The court received an email from the Special Department for Organized Crime and the War Crimes Department of the Higher Court in Belgrade stating that the planned video conference call was being canceled due to certain technical difficulties," said Judge Radovanović.
In addition to Zvicer, Milović and Lazović, the accused are Radoje Živković, Nikola Spasojević, Slobodan Kašćelan, Milan Vujotic, Duško Roganović, Radovan Mujović, Radovan Pantović and Nikša Perović.
According to the indictment, that criminal organization was formed in the second half of 2020 and, in addition to Montenegro, operated in South America, Africa, Europe and Australia.
The defendants are charged with several serious crimes, such as serious murders, attempted murders, smuggling of drugs, weapons and cigarettes, as well as abuse of office.
Zvicer is also charged with ordering the murder of Milan Ljepoja, who participated in organizing the attempted assassination of him in Kiev.
