Momir Nikolic, owner of company Graditelj from Tivat, Dejan Vujisic, director of Movement for Changes PzP and secretary of that party, Zeljko Scepanovic, suspects in the money laundering case, had their remand extended for another month. The decision was made by the Supreme Court of Montenegro.
The remand was extended due to the possible influence suspects could have on the witnesses.
Investigation warrant states that Nikolic, along with Nebojsa Medojevic, leader of PzP, took part in the organization of a criminal group. The process was initiated in October last year, one the police arrested Scepanovic and Gordan Konatar, local foreign currencies dealer. On that occasion, the police found money of suspicious origin. A criminal report was made against them due to unauthorized bank dealings. However, further investigation brought evidence of money laundering.
Prosecutor’s office suspects that Medojevic and Nikolic came up with a criminal plan to bring illegally acquired funds into legal flows. The goal was to avoid legal obligations arising from putting the money in as income.
According to the results of the investigation, Medojevic hired people who had a task of doing bank business illegally, i.e. to make illegal exchanges of foreign currencies, returning the profit in legal flows of money.
