The Podgorica Higher Prosecutor's Office will question Interior Minister Danilo Šaranović regarding his statement in parliament that President Milo Đukanović's security advisor, Goran Žugić, was killed by Ivan Delić, on the orders of Darko Beli Raspopović and Brano Mićunović, the head of the prosecutor's office, Lepa Medenica, told Television Vijesti.
Three days ago, Šaranović said at the ministerial meeting that Žugić was killed in 2000 due to knowledge of the criminal activities of that group, especially cigarette and drug smuggling, and that this was based on information from the former Security Service and testimony from the late Mićunović's driver.
The Higher Prosecutor's Office states that it will question any person who publicly presents information that may be of importance for solving a criminal offense, especially when it comes from public officials, bearing in mind their social responsibility and the expectation that they themselves will submit all the data and knowledge they have to the prosecutor's office without delay.
Delić was extradited to Montenegro from Dubai two months ago and is being held in the Spuž Remand Prison as part of the "General" case, in which a large criminal group is charged with international cocaine smuggling.
Police Director Lazar Šćepanović said that the information presented by Šaranović was not known to him, due to the separation of public and state security services.
