The Special State Prosecutor’s Office has announced today that, following the conclusion of its investigation, it has filed charges against Filip Knežević, Jovan Vujović, and Mihailo Knežević for the crime of money laundering as co-perpetrators.

The SDT revealed that the indictment centers on the transformation and transfer of funds acquired through illegal means:

“With the intent to hide and misrepresent their origins.”

“Specifically, defendant FK engaged in criminal activities, including establishing a criminal organization, aggravated murder, aggravated bodily harm, and illegal possession of weapons and explosives, leading to the acquisition of 150,000 euros. This amount was subsequently handed off, via an unidentified intermediary, to defendant JK, who knowingly received the money from criminal activity. Of this total, JK transferred 132,000 euros to FK’s father, defendant MK, who kept the funds at home despite being aware they derived from his son’s illegal activities. At FK’s request and with prior arrangement, MK used these funds to purchase an apartment (79 m²), a garage (13 m²), and a non-residential space (6 m²) in Podgorica. During the contract signing, he falsely presented himself as the legitimate owner of the money, intending to obscure the true nature of ownership. Consequently, he was registered as the legal owner of the properties in the real estate cadastre, while the actual owner remains defendant FK,” the statement explains.

According to law enforcement sources, Vujović and Filip Knežević are affiliated with the organized crime group known as the Kavački Clan.

Sources from “Vijesti” indicate that Mihailo Knežević is the father of Filip Knežević, who is already under indictment and has links to the murder of Miodrag Kruščić as well as the attempted murder of journalist Olivera Lakić.
