The Special State Prosecutor's Office (SDT) charged the police officer Jugoslav Raičević that is over Milan Vučinić gave confidential information to the Pljevljak clan Darko Sarić.
They submitted an indictment against Raičević to the Special Department for the Trial of Criminal Offenses of Organized Crime, Corruption, Terrorism and War Crimes of the High Court in Podgorica, who is charged with the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization and the extended criminal offense of abuse of official position.
At the same time, they proposed to that court to extend the police officer's detention, which was done.
SDT spokesman, prosecutor Vukas Radonjic, told "Vijesti" that after reconnaissance and investigation it was established that there is a well-founded suspicion that the policeman became a member of a criminal organization organized by Šarić in 2020, which operated in Montenegro, Serbia and other European countries...
"In order to commit crimes against life and limb, public order and peace and against official duties and others, all with the aim of obtaining illegal profits, and that, as an officer of the Department for Special Operational Support, fulfilling his task and role in a criminal organization, to another member of the M.V. organization, communicated the personal data of citizens and others that he obtained in the performance of or in connection with the performance of his duties, i.e., about official actions that the police undertook in relation to members of their own, but also in relation to members of the opposing criminal organization, without a legal basis and official needs", prosecutor Radonjić pointed out.
He explained that in October 2022, the Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime of Serbia filed an indictment against Šarić and several other members of that criminal organization for several criminal offenses before the Special Court in Belgrade.
Raičević was arrested in July 2023, and at the hearing he denied guilt, claiming that he did not give confidential information to Vučinić. He also told the prosecutor Nataša Bošković that he never used or owned a phone with crypto protection.
"Vijesti" previously announced that SDT accuses him of giving official secrets to Vucinić, at the expense of Pljevljak.
According to that information, Raičević is part of the accused criminal organization in Serbia, which, apart from the Šarić brothers, consists of 13 other people.
Portal Libertas announced last year that Raičević was in daily communication with Vučinić, judging by Europol data.
In the report of the criminal intelligence agency referred to by the portal, it is written that Raičević shared with him confidential information from the Montenegrin police system about events in the Special Police Team, personal data of citizens from police records, revealed who was under police secret surveillance measures and why …
According to that text, from February 10, 2020 to January 6, 2021, the two exchanged more than 3.400 messages via an encrypted phone.
In 2022, the same portal also announced that Raičević, as a member of the Department for Special Operational Support of the Police Directorate, was present or knew that criminal acts of torture were being committed against the arrested.
In addition to Raičević, the members of that Department under the command of Mirko Banović were also Petar Lazović, Predrag Jestrović, Slobodan Mićković, Ivan Đoković, Ivan Stamatović, Željko Radunović, Dražen Miranović, Sead Luboder, Vuk Šuković, Momo Mirković, Mirko Đukić, Milorad Mitrović and Neško Jaredić.
Judging by the communications that some of them had through encrypted phones, they kidnapped people and kept them in their so-called shtek apartments, beat them, put a gun in their mouths, tortured them with electricity, choked them, threatened and belittled them and treated them inhumanly.
Petar Lazović and Raičević talked about it with the heads and members of criminal groups and often sent them photos of people being tortured.
Raičević allegedly bragged to Vucinić that he had beaten the arrested.
Did you know who is following Bečić?
Minister of Internal Affairs Danilo Šaranović announced that Raičević received an official note that Ljubo Milović illegally followed the current Deputy Prime Minister during the period when Aleksa Bečić was the President of the Assembly, but that he did not take any action.
He said that the filing of the indictment against Raičević testifies to a strong determination in the fight against the dishonorable actions of police officers, assessing that it is proof of the entire system's fight against all forms of crime.
"The Ministry gives special emphasis to cases in which police officers are suspected, who, by abusing their position, made it easier for criminal organizations to operate on the territory of Montenegro," he said.
After it was announced that an indictment had been filed against Raičević, Boris Bogdanović, a member of the Committee for Security and Defense and the president of the club of representatives of Democratic Montenegro, spoke.
He asserted that the former head of the Department for the Security of Persons and Facilities did not take any action when high-ranking members of the Kavačac clan and policemen followed Bečić.
He praised the "resolute and courageous actions of the Special Police Department and the Special State Prosecutor's Office in the fight against corruption and crime within the security sector."
