The hearing of Judge Suzana Mugoša has ended before the Disciplinary Council of the Judicial Council, and the decision is expected on March 11.
In the indictment, disciplinary prosecutor Dijana Radulović charges Mugoša with two serious offenses because she told journalists in November last year that she believed that the judgment of the Court of Appeal in the "coup d'état" case, which overturned her conviction, was bought.
"I believe that the evidence presented leads to the conclusion of the judge's responsibility for disciplinary violations, which were charged against her. I consider the judge's defense unfounded. I suggest that the disciplinary council adopt the proposal and impose the disciplinary sanction proposed in the indictment," stated Radulović.
Mugoša defends that the accused in the case is a "coup d'état", the leaders of the coalition For the Future of Montenegro, Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević, have been attacking for years because of the first-instance verdict that sentenced them to five years in prison each.
"When making a decision, it is necessary to have the context of the statement in question, that is, the fact that it was given after the statement of the accused politicians, who have been baselessly accusing me all these years, and in the controversial statement I expressed my conviction, which is based on the assessment of the second instance decision, on indisputable differences," Mugoša said. .
Today, Mugoša asked to review the judgments of the High and Appellate Courts in the "coup d'état" case, but the disciplinary council refused. In her closing words, Mugoša stated, among other things, that she is not obliged to prove whether the judgment in question was bought.
"Regarding the allegations that I did not argue and provide evidence that the verdict was a forgery, I indicate that the procedure is not being conducted to determine the existence of document falsification, but whether my statement represents two disciplinary violations," Mugoša said.
And whether Mugoša committed two more serious offenses will be known on March 11, after a secret vote by the disciplinary council.
