DF: Stijepovic used USD 100.000 for a DPS campaign

DF leaders Andrija Mandic and Milan Knezevic accused today mayor of Podgorica, DPS official Slavoljub Stijepovic, of having exchanged USD 100.000 just before the parliamentary elections in 2016. He exchanged the foreign currency in Atlas Bank and used it to fund DPS campaign, DF claims.

They held a press conference today and said that that debt of Dusko Knezevic, president of Atlas Bank, is being paid by the innocent people today.

Mandic said that, after his colleagues were arrested, Dusko Knezevic sent a message of solidarity, but mainly due to the fact that he was familiar with the secrets of the regime.

“The claims that Atlas Group owners exchanged USD for Stijepovic are true. After they were arrested on money laundering charges, they admitted as much during a hearing with Special Prosecutor Katnic”, Mandic said.

DF said Katnic hid this information from the public.

Special Prosecutor’s office denied DF claims that the accused in the money laundering case ever mentioned the name of Podgorica mayor Stijepovic.
