The arrested former security guard Zoran Lazović could influence the leaders of the Kavac criminal clan Radoj Zvicer and Milan Vujotić from freedom, which is why, among other things, he was ordered to be detained for up to 30 days.

According to unofficial information from Vijesti, this is stated in the decision on the basis of which the former assistant director of the Police Administration was sent to the Investigation Prison in Spuška.

"Zoran Lazović and Milivoj Katnić were remanded in custody for up to 30 days, due to the risk of escape and possible influence on witnesses," Marija Raković, advisor for public relations of the Podgorica High Court, told Vijesta.

Lazović and former chief special prosecutor Milivoje Katnić were arrested on Sunday, accused of having committed criminal acts of creating a criminal organization and abuse of office.

The former secret service agent is accused of organizing a criminal group in which he recruited a former prosecutor, who then worked under his instructions.

He is suspected of having ordered the removal of the names of accused Serbian criminals Veljko Belivuk and Marko Miljković from the blacklist of the security services, so that they could enter Montenegro unhindered.

On a couple of occasions, the news published a part of the correspondence from the Sky application, from which it can be seen that the Kavčani, the policemen connected with them and those Belgraders conspired to use their arrival in Montenegro to lure members of the opposing Skaljar clan into a trap...

On the same day when the bandits who planned to kill Belivuk and Miljković were arrested, the arrested police officer Petar Lazović informed his friends about it: "Morning, the brothers have been arrested. The second shooter is Mile Jovanović, the one from NK that I covered last Sunday. You are safe, you can travel. This is a safe country. Thank you for traveling with SBPOK”.

Miljković, as written on Sky, was looking forward to it in advance, so he states: "Hahah, tomorrow Junior will move their kidneys"...

According to the same allegations, Katnić then gave illegal orders to the arrested prosecutor Saša Čađenović, "forcing" him to act in some cases by representing the interests of the Kavac criminal clan.

Vijesti was also told unofficially the day before yesterday that former special state prosecutor Mira Samardžić was questioned yesterday in the SDT investigation against Katnić, "Vijesti" has learned.

According to that information, Katnić mentioned her during the investigation into alleged illegalities in several cases of the prosecution that he managed.

The newspaper's source claims that it is not only about cases against alleged members of the Kavačac criminal clan, but also about actions taken on some international subpoenas...

Lazović's defense attorney, lawyer Zoran Piperović, announced the night before last that his client wrote to the chief special prosecutor Vladimir Novović on March 12, telling him that he would not run away even though he had heard that he was going to be arrested...

"I submitted the letter that Zoran Lazović sends to Novović on March 12 of this year, in which he says: 'I hear that I'm going to be arrested, chief special prosecutor, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, there's no need to make circuses, just tell me when to come "... Novović received that letter in the e-mail," Piperović told reporters ahead of the detention decision.

He added that Lazović could have influenced the witnesses both before and after that, but that he did not do so: "And now they need someone who is inaccessible to the state authorities, and whom they consider to be their accomplice, to look for him on Mars and Jupiter , and he doesn't say how," said the lawyer.

He stated that the SDT imposes unfounded views in the detention request, that Lazović "will find it easier to give up family ties than to face a long prison sentence."

"A personal attitude and personal projection based on nothing. The prosecutor knows what's easier for him... Imagine that ease, if he knows that it is more comfortable for Lazović to give up his grandchildren, children, wife and relatives than to be in prison for one, two, three, five or 55 years," he said. Piperovic.
