They're still weighing whether debt led him to his death.

The Podgorica Basic State Prosecutor's Office has not yet made a decision on whether and who will be held accountable for the loan sharking that, as his family suspects, drove a Danilovgrad resident to his death. Miloš Stamatović (25)

This young man from Danilovgrad was terrorized for months before, as is suspected, he took his own life by jumping into the river.

His father Cvetko Stamatovic, Vijesti previously reported, is trying to uncover the truth about the death of her only son and is fighting with her daughters to bring the culprits to justice.

However, there are still no perpetrators, not even three years after the body of the young postman was found in the Morača Riverbed on December 20, 2022, from which he was pulled with his hands tied.

The Podgorica State Prosecutor's Office responded to Vijesti almost the same way as on February 19 - that the case is in the investigation process, during which "information was obtained from all persons currently available."

"An expert examination has been ordered for digital evidence, computer, mobile and video forensics. Documentation has also been obtained that will be the subject of further analysis in order to make a decision. In order to protect the interests of the proceedings, it is not possible to provide further details at this time," the prosecutor's office said in a response.

They have not yet responded to Vijesti's questions about whether the analysis of the obtained documentation has been completed and whether it has been determined how much money Miloš Stamatović borrowed from the Post Office that day, how much money he eventually distributed to citizens, if such a payment occurred...

The questions that remained unanswered were whether data was obtained on any debts, financial obligations or pressures he was exposed to immediately before his death, and whether a financial reconstruction of the events for the disputed day was carried out, including the movement of money, any transactions and the identification of witnesses to the payment, as well as whether it was checked whether any part of the money was lost through gambling...

For months before his death, Stamatović received dozens of threatening messages a day. They were sent to him by those from whom he borrowed money at interest, or their "associates", who allegedly mediated in this illegal business.

His disappearance was reported on December 17, 2022 - by colleagues from the Montenegrin Post Office, after he did not return to finish his shift.

He received messages that day too, and only one of the Cetinje loan sharks called him 32 times in seven days, including the last day Miloš was alive...

Some of the messages they sent him were deleted, and in the hundreds of them that "Vijesti" had access to, threats and pressure are visible.

Among the hundreds of messages are threats: "You give me 300 euros for every first one, don't let them go."

However, no prosecutor's office is investigating whether any of the seven Danilovgrad residents, two Cetinje residents, and one Podgorica resident, led the twenty-five-year-old to the abyss through continuous pressure and threats towards the end of 2022...

From the Higher State Prosecutor's Office, headed by the prosecutor Beautiful Medenica, previously responded to "Vijesti" that they had forwarded the case to their colleagues from the Basic Prosecutor's Office, because during the proceedings it was determined that Stamatović had a debt that was suspected to be an interest-bearing loan.

According to the newspaper, this was done in April 2023, since when the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Podgorica has not determined whether and which of the ten loan sharks and their debt collectors will be held accountable.

Miloš's father, Cvetko Stamatović, emphasizes that there were shortcomings in the investigation, and he and his daughters are trying to uncover the truth about the death of their only son and brother, and are fighting to bring to justice those they believe contributed to Miloš's death, and then the death of his mother, whose heart broke shortly after she buried her son...

He told the "Vijesti" journalist that on December 17, 2022, at around 20 p.m., he received a call - he was told that his son had disappeared...

"Then we, as a family, were faced with the shock that hit us. First, I as a father, our family, and then everyone who loved him, were unable to comprehend this information, and especially not in that disbelief to deal with the details of the investigation. The most important thing for me was to find my child, and I never imagined that any of the authorities could miss even the smallest detail that was important to the investigation. Later, we realized that they did," he says.

Stamatović adds that the car his son was driving was not immediately examined, that they gave the family personal belongings instead of handing them over to investigators... Everything they should have done, he says, they did afterwards.

"After the car was found, and then some of the money in the vehicle, in front of several eyewitnesses, mostly relatives, friends and comrades who participated in the search for Miloš, the officials, without any expert opinion, said that the money found in the mail bag should be taken, and that someone from the family should then take over the vehicle and his personal belongings. The phones found in the vehicle were given to one of the relatives who was at the scene... When we realized this, we asked them to go to the police and hand over the phones, which was done," he said.

The father of the 25-year-old emphasizes that, apart from the phone, which they themselves returned to the police, the car was only later subjected to an expert examination.

Stamatović previously explained how they learned that Miloš was a victim of loan sharks and blackmailers, mostly people from Danilovgrad - a small town where everyone knows each other...

Miloš's father and sisters have been reading the messages that these people sent him throughout 2022, including immediately before the fateful December 17th, for months, piecing together piece by piece what actually happened before the tragedy...

That's how they found out that he had debt, that he had borrowed money from several people who hung around him, mostly those over 20 years old, that he had paid them interest, that they had pressured him, persecuted him, offered him to "do deliveries for them", suggested that he get the money "with a sock on his head"...

The calls and messages were constant, they threatened to call his father and ask him for money...

They always called around the first of the month, when he received his monthly salary from the Post Office.

"From the material given to us, we learn what was happening - that my son was the target of loan sharks, blackmailers, those who were ready to control his every move, every step, every salary received and to threaten him even with what they knew he was weak against, which was his family from whom he had only love, was loved, adored and he reciprocated by being a very good son and brother, hardworking, responsible, someone who had worked dedicatedly since he was 18, who knew what it meant to earn a living and how to appreciate it," says Stamatović.

He emphasizes that, however, the material he received did not provide him with information about his son's movements throughout December 17, 2022, which further raises suspicions that the investigation was conducted sloppily...
