Not even a year after Budimir and Marina Krstović were arrested in a police operation for cocaine smuggling, there are no answers to the questions: is there anyone else behind this business, who are the other actors, or how did 1.400 kilograms of the initial 200 kilograms of seized cocaine end up in the indictment? less.
On the other hand, the lawyers of the victims and the Krstović family still claim that they have nothing to do with this drug.
"The Krstović family asked, if there are any messages related to this load of narcotic drugs, they must be delivered to the competent prosecutor's office as soon as possible. That fact alone speaks volumes about how ready they are not only to prove that they are innocent, but also to go to the end and prove that they have absolutely nothing to do with the cargo of drugs in question," said Krstović's lawyer, Stefan Jovanović,
Meanwhile, the defense is asking the Constitutional Court for the second time that their clients be released from Spuša prison.
They remind that those judges accepted their first appeal, but the High Court and the Court of Appeals remained with their earlier position.
"In the previous decision, he established that our defendants are in detention completely illegally, since the evidence offered by the competent prosecution is not sufficient for the existence of well-founded suspicion as a substantive legal basis in terms of the conditions for determining and extending detention. Therefore, our defendants are they are in custody for no reason," Jovanović believes
Jovanović also claims that their clients were accused based on a wrongly translated sentence by the court interpreter, who went one step further and added non-existent words, which was also established during the ongoing trial.
One sentence was the basis for the initiation of proceedings against the freight forwarder Đok Drobnjak for half a ton of cocaine, which was later found in the warehouse of the company "Voli" in Podgorica.
The method of cocaine smuggling was identical to the one described in the case of Krstović, but the High Court considered that there was not enough solid evidence against Drobnjak, and then suspended the proceedings against him.
