The Higher Court in Podgorica returned the indictment in the Abu Dhabi Fund case to the Special State Prosecutor's Office (SST) for correction, "Vijesti" has learned.

The indictment was brought against the former Ministers of Agriculture and Rural Development, Petar Ivanović and Budimir Mugoša, due to the existence of a well-founded suspicion that they committed a prolonged criminal offense - abuse of office, during the distribution of funds from the Abu Dhabi Development Fund loan from 2015 to 2017.

The indictment includes the former director of the Investment and Development Fund, Zoran Vukčević, and the former director of the Directorate for Payments in the Ministry of Agriculture, Blagota Radulović.

The SDT charges the former director of the Investment Development Fund of Montenegro Vukčević with the criminal offense of negligent work in the service, and Adžić with the criminal offense of misuse of assessment.

Adžić is suspected of the criminal offense of abuse of valuation, because, as stated in the indictment, there is a well-founded suspicion that their actions benefited the company "IMGradina" DOO Rožaje. It is suspected that they seriously violated the rights and caused damage to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in the process of settling claims from the Loan Agreement from the given collateral.

"In relation to the defendant legal entities 'Vektra-Jakić' DOO Pljevlja, 'Milkraft Leche' DOO Bijelo Polje, 'HM Durmitor' DOO Žabljak, 'EKO-PER' DOO Šavnik, 'IMGradina' DOO Rožaje and their responsible persons Dragan Brković, Krsto Knežević, Vladimir Kujundžić, Džemal Škrijelj and Ljub Perišić, the investigation was suspended for the extended criminal offense of abuse of official position through aiding and abetting and unjustified obtaining and use of loans and other benefits", the SDT announced earlier.
