It is not certain whether the investigation into the embezzlements in the Parliament of Montenegro, as evidenced by the report of the State Audit Institution (DRI), is to be extended to 2015, Dnevne Novine writes.
The ball is in the court of the Supreme State Prosecutor’s Office (SDT), to which the DRI submitted the report on the audit of the Montenegrin Parliament’s performance for 2016. The DRI’s report confirmed what the public has been aware of for months –the fictitious travel orders cost Parliament budget slightly over €120,000.
The report does not specify this, but it can be concluded from the assessment that the necessary documentation for 239 travel orders was missing. Based on the travel orders, the cash was paid.
In January, the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office formed the case after the new parliamentary leadership filed two criminal charges against the cashier, Tamara Cadjenovic.
Prosecutors found that there had been fictitious travel orders, issued to people who had not travelled anywhere and that there was no evidence that the orders had been justified.
