New data from the case of the Special State Prosecutor's Office once again reveals the extent to which high-ranking officials of the security sector, during the time of the former government, placed themselves at the service of criminal and political structures. While citizens expected the police to protect the law and the state, individuals were clearly serving the private interests of their political masters. Instead of prosecuting criminals, they abused state systems to monitor, spy on and compromise opponents of the regime.
This was stated in a press release by Democratic Party MP Anđela Vojinović.
"Imagine, based on the latest media reports, the level of depravity and unscrupulousness when senior security officials, ten days before the historic parliamentary elections on August 30, 2020, on the orders of a tycoon, and today we see the head of a criminal organization, all in communication and coordination with ministers and political powerbrokers, extract from the system personal data about the mother of the then MP and opposition leader Aleksa Bečić, a woman who has never held any public office, and consider how they could pack a story about their old family property that she inherited from her late husband a few days before the elections," the statement said.
That was their method, adds Vojinović.
"To smear, to spread lies, to fabricate fabrications, to try to smear clean people just because they were not part of their corrupt network. How many lies and hoaxes have they fabricated about Aleksa Bečić and the officials of the Democrats in the past ten years, not to mention the monitoring, wiretapping, attacks, arrests and all the other monstrosities of that system that we have experienced so much. Today, when the system is finally starting to clean itself, it is clearly visible how deeply crime has entered the institutions and how brazenly individuals have behaved, thinking that they will remain protected forever. Today, citizens are seeing part of the darkest and most monstrous time in the history of Montenegro that will never return," concluded the Democratic MP.
