The Judicial Council terminated Jegdić's duties

The Judicial Council terminated the duties of the judge of the Basic Court of Podgorica, Danilo Jegdić, because he was legally convicted of falsifying the minutes of the hearing.

With that, the Council put an end to this case, seven years after it was suspended.

In May, the Basic Court of Nikšić sentenced Jegdić to seven months in prison, but since part of the charge expired in September, the High Court reduced his sentence to six months of house arrest.

The statute of limitations came about because the Nikšić court tried him for six and a half years, and the president of the Supreme Court, Valentina Pavličić, announced that a special commission would investigate whether there were any omissions and whose.
