Former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić, who is in custody, filed a criminal complaint against Special Prosecutor Miloš Šoškić for, as it says in the criminal complaint, abusing his official position, because he did not ex officio prosecute the current Minister of Defense Dragan Krapović for money laundering money worth over 2,000,000 euros.
- Šoškić, as a special state prosecutor in the Special State Prosecutor's Office, abused his official position because it is contrary to the provisions of Article 44 para. 1 of Article 16 of the CPC, and where it is stipulated that the main task and duty of the state prosecutor is to prosecute the perpetrators of criminal offenses and that the state prosecutor is obliged to truthfully and completely establish the facts that are important for making a legal and fair decision, knowing that his crime prohibited, knowingly failed to prosecute the current Minister of Defense, Dragan Krapović, even though an expert financial analyst found that he had laundered money worth over two million euros, and evaded taxes in that amount, even though the Chief Special Prosecutor at the time instructed him to informs about the situation in that case, he never did that, thereby committing the criminal offense of abuse of official position under Article 416 of the Criminal Code - it is written in the criminal report filed by the former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić, the Standard reports.
As a reminder, the SDT, while Katnić was at the helm, launched an investigation at the end of June 2020 and established that a criminal organization was formed in Budva at the beginning of June of the same year, headed by Dragan Krapović, with the aim of committing several criminal acts, referring to resistance, abuse of official position.
- The SDT collected evidence that D.K, as an organizer, ordered to issue orders and instructions to the members of the criminal group and to incite officials to commit crimes in order to realize the criminal plan - it was announced at the press conference of the SDT.
The goal was, they stated from the SDT, to prevent the officials of the Police Directorate and the Ministry of Public Administration from implementing the measures of those state bodies.
- D.K. after the Administrative Inspection entered the building of the Municipality of Budva incited members of the criminal organization J.D. A.M. D.B. and other heads of municipal services to come to the premises of Democratic Montenegro where he asked them to exceed their official powers - SDT said at the time.
So far, there has been no word on the investigation into money laundering and tax evasion by the current Minister of Defense Dragan Krapović. It is obvious that the action at that time was done in secret and that there were enough indications to investigate the matter. However, as Katnić claims in the criminal complaint, the special prosecutor Šoškić did nothing in that case, and he avoided informing the then chief special prosecutor about the progress of the investigation, even though he was instructed to do so by the then superior Katnić.
We remind you that on April 14, Katnić, along with former high-ranking police official Zoran Lazović, was arrested on suspicion of abusing their position by lifting the ban on entering Montenegro for the then head of a criminal organization from Belgrade, Veljko Belivuk, and his companion Marko Miljković.
He has been on hunger strike for more than 28 days because of political persecution, he also refuses water because the special prosecutor Miloš Šoškić and the investigating judge Goran Šćepanović continuously violate his rights guaranteed by law, but also try to thwart his participation in the proceedings and the hearing of witnesses in the investigation that is being conducted against him.
