Damir Mandić, a resident of Podgorica, served a nineteen-year prison sentence for complicity in the murder of Duško Jovanović, editor of the newspaper "Dan".
Thus, twenty-one years after the murder, which remains unsolved because neither the killer nor the person who ordered it is known, the only person convicted of that crime has served the full sentence to which he was sentenced.
Mandić was first acquitted and then sentenced to 30 years, before being finally sentenced to 19 years for complicity in the murder of Jovanović, the attempted murder of his bodyguard Milorad Mirović, and the kidnapping of Miodrag Nikolić.
The court has repeatedly rejected his requests for conditional release. However, on May 10, when his sentence expired, Mandić did not leave the Spuž Correctional Facility, but was transferred to the Pretrial Detention Center, after he was ordered to be detained in the case known as "General", the Higher Court confirmed to Television Vijesti.
This is a case in which an indictment was filed for smuggling two and a half tons of cocaine from South America to Europe and Australia against Vaso Ulić, Radoje Zvicer, Vuk Vulević, Milo Božović and other defendants.
