The Special State Prosecutor's Office claims that the criminal group was led by Muja Mujević, using an elaborate cigarette smuggling network and communication via the encrypted Sky application, damaged the state budget by more than 33 million euros, with logistics that included trucks from the Port of Bar, reloading in family homes, and distribution to Serbia and Kosovo.
According to the indictment, Mujević was identified as a user of that once protected telephone program with the PIN 683EA9, and investigators concluded this by linking the content of the communications with Police Directorate data.
One of the key elements of identification is a message from September 2020, in which an unidentified person asks for his ID number, which Mujević provides. In other correspondence, he mentions the name Alis, with instructions to hand over the money to that person, and official records indicate that it was his son.
The communications also reveal warnings within the group about possible police action, and in that context, a person who wrote on Sky under the pin 3E28F7 sent him messages on September 25, 2020, writing:
"Mujo, it wouldn't be a good idea to catch them now... Because the special team will come to their warehouse any minute... Let them find another place."
The same person, as he writes, on August 8th forwarded him messages from a person with the nickname "Ruzhda": "Well, if Mujo is working, let him watch out a bit"... "My friend asks if Mujo won't bring euros."
Berane residents took cigarettes
The SDT claims that the defendant Enis Kajevic was the person who used the pin account 5A383F in the Sky application and who, as the document states, wrote on March 3, 2021 Žarko Bulatović (DKM3TV) who is complaining because a certain quantity of cigarettes was confiscated from him.
"They fucked my mother. They came for my van, Berane people"...
"Oh, I heard. Hell. And did they catch them or have they already unloaded them??? How much was the cargo???, who would have taken it if it wasn't yours. They'll fuck you as a returnee," Bulatović suggests to him.
Kajević replies that no one will want to take it upon themselves:
"No one will want to, I'll see, In the jeeps. These guys went to the market for a soda. They broke in."
The interlocutor asks him if they were in the yard, and he answers in the affirmative:
"They did... I f*ck them all. It's horrible... They knew everything. That guy says, he loads 50 into jeeps."
Ran into the forest
The indictment then states that Bulatović informed about the seizure of smuggled cigarettes Velimir Milačić, and then comment in detail on the police action in the yard of the house of Enis Kajević, known as Bucko and exchange the following messages:
"The bitch is gone. They started him last night, they found 2 jeeps of Regina, I guess. That was in his yard... They didn't find anything else... Half an hour ago... Oh, great..... Now the commander told me... Cosmo, Dona and Trocadero, 2 jeeps, just reloaded from Muja and started him... 100 boxes. Total. He must have wanted to drive that for the Albanians... What a joke... Now they're going to lock him up, they're going to do a campaign with him for everyone"...
Then he adds that the situation is not good, but that Kajević escaped from them:
"He escaped them... Everyone stood up so he wouldn't go over to the Serbs... He just told him to go inside the house and tell the children not to be afraid, and he ran out the window into the woods. The commander told me to tell Mujo to get out of the way... It seems they saw his van unload. Tell him that"...
The SDT explains that in this particular case it is clear that it is a typo, when it is mentioned that "the bitch fell", because in fact it is thought that Bucko fell...
"Also, this communication is in accordance with the contents of the files of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Rožaje... from which it follows that in the yard of the family home of the defendant Enis Kajević, on March 3, 2021, the police found two 'Opel' jeeps, without license plates, with cigarettes loaded on them, while the defendant Kajević fled, about which the police officers drew up an official note," the SDT's explanation of the indictment states.
The trial of this group began at the Higher Court in Podgorica, and only Kajević pleaded guilty.
It is alleged that the cigarettes, in the amount of 42.827 packages, were sold on several occasions in Serbia and Kosovo, by unknown members of the criminal organization, who drove them away in combined vehicles and handed them over to unknown buyers.
"Thus, by failing to pay customs duties, excise duties and taxes on the quantity of cigarettes sold, the defendants obtained material gain for the criminal organization and caused damage to the injured party, Montenegro, in the amount of at least 33,182,320.05 euros," the indictment states, among other things.
Per package from five to 100 euros
Kajević, among other things, said that he smuggled cigarettes with Mujević.
In the prosecutor's investigation, he stated that it was true that he used the Sky application and that Žarko Bulatović had provided him with that phone.
"Trucks full of cigarettes arrived at the defendant Mujo Mujević's place, and according to his estimate, he earned 100 euros per pack, while his earnings were much lower, approximately five euros per pack."
He said at the time that in 2016, he had an argument and a fight with Mujević's cousin, after which Mujo stopped giving him cigarettes.
"The defendant Mujević worked more with the people of Pazar who brought him cash in sacks and paid for cigarettes in advance."
He said that he was in prison until October or November 2017 because of that argument, and that after his release he started smoking cigarettes again:
"And he worked mostly with Alisa Mujević, the son of the defendant Mujo Mujević, and Mujević's son-in-law Džemal Kurpejović"...
