The High Court confirmed the indictments of the SDT, which included 14 more defendants for the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization and several criminal offenses of smuggling, committed in co-perpetration.
SDT claims that Golubović and Stanaj are the organizers, and that the members of the organization since its founding and during its activities have been Nuo Stanaj, Abedin Pepić, Andrija Petanović, Vukota Vujošević, Đoko Lješković, Mileta Simanić, Adnan Suković, Ivan Turčinović, Predrag Madžgalj, Veton Berišaj, Prokopije Perić, Dejan Milić and Radoje Dakić.
"The subject of the indictments is a well-founded suspicion that the accused DG and SS organized a criminal organization, whose members included the other accused and other unknown persons, with the aim of, during 2020 and 2021, transporting untaxed cigarettes from the free customs zone of the Port of Bar across the customs line, while avoiding customs supervision measures, and selling, concealing and distributing them in Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Italy, so that by not paying customs duties, excise duties and taxes on smuggled cigarettes, they obtained illegal profits for the criminal organization and caused damage to the injured party, Montenegro," the statement reads.
A financial investigation has been launched against the defendants.
