The trial of police officers Petar Lazović and Jugoslav Raičević, accused of allegedly abusing members of a Balkan drug cartel cell in Skalja, has been postponed to June 19th.

Podgorica Basic Court Judge Ilija Radulović announced that the court's Information Technology Service officers were unable to present evidence today.

He announced that all remaining evidence would be presented on Friday and called on the parties to prepare their closing arguments.

Lazović and Raičević are charged with the alleged torture of Jovan Mrvaljević, after he was detained in Nikšić at the end of December 2020.

Lazović is also on trial because, according to the indictment of prosecutor Biljana Pavličić, who was represented yesterday by prosecutor Damir Kujović, he also tortured Mrvaljević's colleague from the clan, Milo Jovanović.
