Šćekić and Boljević, questioned for abusing an Albanian citizen, will defend themselves from freedom

Police officers Nikola Boljević and Dragan Šćekić, who were arrested yesterday because they are suspected of being the perpetrators of the incident that happened in mid-January at the Sukobin - Murićani border crossing, were questioned at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Ulcinj and then released, Pobjeda from ODT confirmed unofficially. Ulcinj. After that, the prosecutor decided that there were no grounds for further detention.
Police officer Šćekić, who, as can be seen on the video, roughly grabbed the face of an Albanian citizen, expressed remorse at the hearing.
According to information from Pobjeda, he told the prosecutor that he had made a mistake and that something similar had never happened to him in his long career. He said that he was outraged by the fact that Petrać Milo persistently ignored the orders of the police officers.
Šćekić also said that such a thing would not happen again and that he had never behaved like that before.
After that, the prosecutor decided that there were no grounds for further detention.
Since the Albanian citizen Milo is not available to the competent authorities of Montenegro, ODT Ulcinj will try to get in touch with him. If they fail, they will request his statement through International Legal Aid, which has already been requested by the Internal Control of the Police Directorate.
The day before yesterday, after the arrest of police officers Nikola Boljević and Dragan Šćekić, the prosecutor characterized the criminal offense as abuse from the Criminal Code of Montenegro.
Article 166a, paragraph two, of the Criminal Code stipulates that whoever abuses another or treats him in a way that offends human dignity will be punished with imprisonment of up to one year, and if the abuse is "committed by an official in the performance of his duties" with imprisonment of up to three months three years.
Based on the first footage of the incident, released to the public in mid-January, the Ulcinj Basic Prosecutor's Office ordered the Internal Police Control Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Police to determine the identity of the police officers and to take appropriate actions in relation to the incident.
However, it was only after the publication of a new video two days ago that updated the entire case and clearly shows brutal mistreatment, that a new initiative by the prosecutor's office in Ulcinj followed, on the basis of which criminal proceedings were initiated yesterday against the two police officers who were deprived of their liberty.
In a new video of the mistreatment of an Albanian family at the Sukobin - Murićani border crossing, a foreign citizen can be seen explaining to a police officer that he "didn't do anything", to which the Montenegrin police officer replies: "As much as you can talk, now I would break his jaw..." , and then roughly grabs the stranger's face in the car.
The video then shows the words: "Put the phone down," as the policeman violently pulls the foreign national out of the car.
