Special State Prosecutor’s Office (SDT) has launched an investigation against public enforcement officer Sinisa Mugosa within which his closest associates gave witness statements yesterday, Dnevne Novine unofficially learns.
Mugosa is charged with trying to collect €846,000 fictitious debt from Crnogorski Telekom using a forged document.
According to unofficial information, Mugosa took a forged court decision from an unknown person in Belgrade. According to it, certain Slovenia-based company claimed €864,000 from Telekom. Based on the forged court ruling, he issued a writ of execution upon which the money should be paid on 20 March.
However, a day later, Telekom officials reported the case to SDT, which immediately blocked the payment. However, Mugosa allegedly managed to collect a minor sum before the blockade.
On 29 March, prosecutor Lidija Vukcevic ordered remanding Mugosa on suspicion of having committed the crime of creating a criminal organisation and abuse of office.
Aleksandar Nestorovic from Podgorica has also been remanded in prison. He is suspected of helping Mugosa to obtain the disputed document.
Mugosa earlier denied claiming, freezing and collecting Telekom’s assets based on forged documents. He argued that he did everything according to the law and rules of the profession and that he would prove it during the further process.
Mugosa was arrested on 28 March and the Podgorica police department officers sealed off his office taking relevant documents for analysis.
Mugosa has been the subject of an extensive investigation, which is to determine, based on the documents, whether he was perpetrator of other embezzlement in cases in which he conducted public enforcement procedures.
Sinisa Mugosa was the head of the Bailiff’s Chamber until February last year when he resigned along with other leadership members because the Ministry of Justice reduced their service tariffs for the fourth time since the beginning of their work.
