The Administrative Committee of the Parliament will decide about lifting MP Nebojsa Medojevic’s parliamentary immunity today.
The chief special prosecutor Milivoje Katnic requested stripping the Movement for Changes (PzP) leader of his immunity in order to initiate criminal proceedings against him and to remand him in custody.
The Special Prosecutor’s Office (SDT) suspects that Medojevic, together with Momir Nikolic, an entrepreneur from Bosnia-Herzegovina, organised a criminal group aimed at money laundering.
They allegedly created a criminal plan to put the money Nikolic had illegally gained into legal flows. Nikolic allegedly earned money through the construction work as an entrepreneur of the Tivat-based Graditelj company “by failing to report these funds as income to the competent authorities and thus avoiding the payment of legal obligations”.
In addition, Medojevic and Nikolic are suspected of creating a plan to put the money gained through illegal exchange of foreign currencies and money obtained for illegal financing of certain political parties into legal flows.
“Nebojsa Medojevic was in charge of recruiting members of the criminal organisation among citizens and persons close to the political entities who would perform banking activities without authorisation by exchanging US dollars for euros in order for putting the money into legal flows; arranging delivery of the money that comes from illegal activities to other members of the criminal organisation and citizens woo would pay that money as donations to political entities’ bank accounts; instructing members of criminal organisation and the accused Momir Nikolic how to testify in case of being revealed as a criminal organisation and advising them what to tell the competent state authorities, in order to avoid criminal prosecution; planning and executing new forms of illicit putting money obtained through criminal activities in the legal flows,” SDT’s order says.
Democratic Front (DF) previously announced that it would organise a protest in front of the Parliament building during the Administrative Committee’s sitting regarding lifting of Medojevic’s immunity.
