The Special State Prosecutor’s Office has completed its investigation and filed an indictment with the Special Department of the High Court in Podgorica against a criminal organization allegedly led by Aleksandar Aco Mijajlović.

Charges have been brought against Mijajlović, Dejan Jokić, Zoran Žuti Đukanović, Golub Vojinović, Dragan Backović, Milenko Mićo Rabrenović, Radoje Rabrenović, and Mirko Mijušković.

“The charges include the criminal offense of forming a criminal organization against AM, smuggling charges against DJ, two smuggling-related charges against Z.Đ., smuggling against GV, and various charges against DB and MR, including smuggling, abuse of official position, and money laundering,” stated the SDT.

The indictment asserts that Mijajlović, along with an unidentified individual, organized a criminal group from 2019 to 2021 in Montenegro. This group, which included the other defendants and additional unknown members, aimed to smuggle untaxed cigarettes from the free customs zone at the Port of Bar for sale, concealment, and distribution within Montenegro and abroad, thereby generating illegal profit and laundering the associated funds.

“A financial investigation has also been initiated against the defendants to permanently confiscate assets obtained through criminal activities,” the SDT remarked.
