The ASP stated that they would quote parts of the court document, which, they claim, absolutely confirm that it reliably and accurately conveyed the part regarding the investigation into Aleksandar Mijajlović in its statement, "without any need to refer to his views and assessments expressed during the day."
"The Special State Prosecutor's Office, in parallel with the criminal investigation, is also conducting a financial investigation aimed at identifying the property of the defendants and their related persons that is clearly disproportionate to their legal income and for which there is a reasonable suspicion that it originated from criminal activity, that is, that it was obtained with money acquired through criminal activity, that is, through illegal cigarette smuggling," the document quotes the ASP.
"In this sense, and in relation to the property from paragraph I of this proposal, which is owned by MM (ASP gives the initials), the daughter of the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović, evidence was obtained during the financial investigation, primarily official documentation from the Real Estate Administration from which it is clearly concluded that she is the owner of the apartment, to the extent of the right 1/1... Furthermore, from the documentation relating to the chronology of the registration of rights in the real estate cadastre, it is concluded that she acquired the right of ownership over this apartment in 2021, based on a gift contract, in which contractual relationship the donor is the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović, who previously acquired the right of ownership over the indicated real estate in 2011, by purchasing it from the previous owner Veljko Lakušić, for the amount of 155.000,00 euros, as follows from the purchase contract," the ASP claims.
"The analysis of banking documentation, i.e. the balance and movement of funds in accounts opened with commercial banks in Montenegro, whose holder is the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović, and the analysis of documentation obtained from the Tax Administration, which refers to tax, contribution and other duties reports to that state body in relation to Aleksandar Mijajlović as a natural person, unequivocally concludes that the same, at the time of acquiring ownership rights to the designated real estate that was the subject of the gift, i.e. in 2011 and before that, as a natural person, did not have legal income to the extent that it would have been possible for him, taking into account living expenses, to acquire ownership rights over the specific real estate. According to data from the Tax Administration, the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović had recorded earnings from legal entities in which he has a share in the ownership structure, namely from the legal entities 'Monte Media' DOO, 'Alec Montenegro' DOO and 'Easy Drive' DOO, and these earnings from the beginning of 2023 to the present amounted to 2.000,00 to 3.000,00 euros per month, while in the period from 2015 to 2023, they amounted to 750,00 to 1.1000,00 euros in gross amount", said the ASP.
"Also, according to the documentation obtained from the Tax Administration, it follows that in the period from 17.01. to 28.03.2023. 1,5. the company 'Bemax' DOO from Podgorica paid the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović a total of 26.06.2023 million euros, for the transfer of shares, while in the period from 18.09.2023. 1,23. to 25.09.2023. 2,44. for the distribution of dividends in the company 'Easy Drive' DOO from Podgorica, XNUMX million euros were paid to the account in Crnogorska Komercijalna Banka. In addition, in the period after XNUMX. XNUMX. the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović was paid XNUMX million euros for the distribution of dividends in that legal entity," the ASP said in a quote from the court document.
"The analysis of the bank accounts of the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović leads to the conclusion that he had bank accounts opened with several commercial banks in which cash inflows were recorded on various grounds. However, in the period up to 2011, when he acquired the right of ownership over the apartment in question, or until 23 November 2012, when he was obliged to pay the purchase price under the contract, an inflow was recorded to the account opened with Hipotekarna banka in the amount of 36.558,00 euros, which money was transferred from Prva banka on 09.10.2009. and on 16.10.2009., transferred to the person Veljko Lakušić for the purpose of paying 'other transfers'. The account with the designated bank also recorded several payments by Aleksandar Mijajlović to his account and the purchase of foreign currency after that, so that on 20.11.2012., a payment was made abroad in the amount of 15.000,00 euros for the legal entity 'Atoll Paradise Limited'. Also in the indicated period of time, i.e. until the end of 2012, a payment of 60.000,00 euros was recorded on the account of the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović opened with the First Bank of Montenegro on 12.07.2007, and on 19.07.2007, a cash payment in the amount of 59.100,00 euros was recorded, and the funds paid on both occasions were redirected to the legal entity 'Ljetopis' DOO from Podgorica. An analysis of the account opened with Addiko Bank concludes that there are no significant transactions on it, and in the period from 2007 to 2009, there was no turnover on that account. "The accounts of the defendant Aleksandar Mijajlović in Universal Capital Bank have been opened, that is, payments have been recorded, on the foreign account since 2015, and on the current account since 2022. As for the accounts with Crnogorska komercijalna banka, the defendant has two accounts from 2016 and 2023 and one account for foreign payments," the court document reads.
ASP claims that the document (Higher Court Decision) also states the following: "The court rejected the proposal to issue a temporary measure in relation to MM (ASP puts initials) for the apartment, in the scope of the 1/1 right registered in the real estate register... The residential space was purchased on November 23.11.2011, 25.08.2021, by Aleksandar Mijajlović, who, by a gift agreement concluded on August 2019, 2021, gifted it to his daughter MM (ASP puts initials). In the court's opinion, the time of acquisition of the real estate by Aleksandar Mijajlović at least eight years before the beginning of the aforementioned period of criminal activity (XNUMX to XNUMX) makes it difficult to establish a direct link between the acquisition of the property and the alleged criminal activities. There is a purchase and sale agreement for the apartment and a gift agreement that confirm the date and manner of acquisition and gift of the real estate. These documents provide evidence of the lawful acquisition of the property. Accepting a temporary measure for property acquired several years before the aforementioned date of the criminal offense could violate the principle of legal certainty and call into question legitimately acquired property rights. This is especially true if we consider that the analysis of Aleksandar Mijajlović's income provided in the proposal begins with the year of acquisition of the real estate, and not with earlier years, so that the court could gain insight into that income.
