The property of Cetinje residents Jovan Vujović and Mihailo Knežević was seized by a final decision at the request of the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) due to suspicion that it was acquired through money laundering.

This was announced today by SDT.

"According to the indictment of the Special State Prosecutor's Office for the criminal offense of money laundering, against the now convicted JV and MK, the Higher Court in Podgorica, on February 20 of this year, issued a final verdict, finding them guilty and sentencing them to prison sentences, with the imposition of a security measure of confiscation of the object - an apartment in Podgorica, with an area of 79 m2, with a garage space of 13 m2 and a non-residential space of 6 m2 from the convicted MK. Thus, real estate with a current market value of around 400.000 euros was permanently seized from the convicted person, due to the lawful, independent and impartial work of the Special State Prosecutor's Office, and became the property of the State of Montenegro," the SDT statement reads.
