The criminal complaint against the security chief of "Vijesti" Mirceta Mališić shows that the intention of the police and the prosecutor was not to investigate the case professionally, but to criminalize "Vijesti" at all costs, said the director of the newspaper Željko Ivanović.
Podgorica inspectors filed a criminal complaint against Mališić a few days ago for illegal possession of weapons and explosive materials. His apartment was searched in mid-April, ten days after the visibly intoxicated principal of the "Dragiša Ivanović" Elementary School, Niko Raičević, and his friend Krsto Petrić threw insults at the director of "Vijesti" and his friends in the "Garden" restaurant, and then reported to the police that they had security threatened by Ivanović's bodyguard Mališić. On the video from the local camera, he can see that Raičević and Petrić behaved arrogantly and inappropriately for more than an hour.
Mališić's lawyer, Aleksandar Đurišić, said that no criminal offense was committed, because the weapon that Mališić kept in the apartment was not used and was legal.
"The fact is that a criminal complaint was filed a month ago due to events at the Garden restaurant. It is evident that this application was neither considered seriously nor processed. "Unfortunately, the actions taken on the occasion of that previous report served for this completely new report against my client," said Đurišić.
He pointed out that the fact is that every piece of weapon found during the search of Mališić's apartment is legal - they have licenses and were kept in a legal way, at home - unused.
"Two hunting rifles and a small pistol are the property of my client's uncle's brother. During the time that his brother was undergoing treatment, that weapon was maintained by my client. "It is impossible that these weapons should have been left available to teenagers while their parents are away - where social danger is an essential characteristic of every criminal," said Đurišić.
Mališić's lawyer pointed out that it would be good information for the general public if "someone tells us what the procedure is and what regulations are established by which personal hunting weapons are stored, and to whom, in conditions of the owner's sudden absence".
By searching Mališić's apartment, the police found and seized two hunting rifles, three pistols and 400 bullets, for which all documentation and proper permits are available.

The hunting rifles are owned by Zdravko Ivanović, on whom the weapon certificate reads, the pistol "Armes police", without a weapon certificate, the pistol "CZ M 88" is owned by a company that performs physical security, and the pistol "CZ-Sport-Taktikal" is owned by him.
"Based on the police measures and actions carried out, it is suspected that the MM hunting rifle 'Franchi Grifone', hunting carbine 'Browning', pistol 'Armes police mod. RR51" and kept 440 pieces of ammunition in his apartment illegally, i.e. without a weapon license issued in his name", the Police Administration announced on Friday.
The police returned the "CZ-Sport-Taktikal" pistol to Mališić.
Ivanovic: The prosecution and the police are the beatings with which the regime harasses and intimidates our media
The director of "Vijesti" said that for seven years, the Police Directorate and the Prosecutor's Office have unfortunately been a club in the hands of the regime that has been persecuting, harassing, intimidating and targeting our media.
"From the case of the well-known volunteers from Nikšić and Foča, through the mockery of the investigation in the case of Mladen Stojović and Tufik Softić, then the shameful indictment against Mihail Jovović, the silencing of the mayor's gun and minimizing his responsibility for the lynching on the Boulevard, through more burning of our property and physical attacks on her, to the latest investigation in the investigation into the attack and threats against Olivera Lakić, where they are only scratching the surface in order not to get to the perpetrators", Ivanović said.
"The police and the Prosecutor's Office first tried with joint forces to criminalize me, for the outburst committed by their drunken activist, and when that attempt failed, they went to Mirceta"
"I guess because all the heads of those institutions who worked on our cases received promotions and awards after such scandalous investigations. The prosecution of the head of our security, Mirceta Mališić, should also be viewed in such a context. The police and the Prosecutor's Office first tried with joint forces to criminalize me, for the outburst committed by their drunken activist, and when that attempt failed, they went to Mirceta," said Ivanovic, adding that "the police and the prosecutor's office are ministers Konjević (Raško) and Marković (Duško) searched the apartment of an innocent man and an exceptional professional without any basis or reason.
"Then, through their propaganda, they trumpeted for days about the two hunting rifles and the sports pistol and the corresponding bullets found in his apartment, in order to prepare the 'basis' for the prosecution. When it turned out that all this has its own permission, justification and explanation, it was moved to a 'creative' and above all malicious interpretation of the law, so it was concluded that all permits are not enough, that permits are also needed to keep the permitted... What cynicism. And what a wonderful example that our police knows how to respect the law, but only when it comes to the enemies of the regime," Ivanovic said.
