The bank brought my father to suicide - tells the victim's daughter

Esad Muminović died on October 9, when he set off an explosive device while in the office of Aleksandr Bošković. The incident occurred around 11:00 in Podgorica. None of the office employees were injured.

Jasmina Muminović, the daughter of the deceased, intends to hold accountable those who, in her opinion, are to blame for the death of her father, those who she believes brought him to suicide - Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank and Heta Asset Resolution. Yasmina says that over the past few years, the bank's representatives have constantly exerted pressure on her father, and they demanded that they sign a contract, with the changed terms and conditions of loan servicing. Despite the fact that Yasmina's father paid the bank 27 thousand euros for a loan of 30 thousand euros, the bank required to pay, in addition to the paid 27 thousand euros, another 41 thousand euros.

Advocate from the Consumer Rights Protection Center Dragomir Ćalasan believes that the perpetrators of the tragedy are Hypo Alpe-Adria Bank and Heta Asset Resolution. He said that a letter had recently been sent to the general director of the said company, so that all actions on the loan were brought in accordance with the law, but received a negative answer.

Back in March of this year, the Center for the Protection of Consumer Rights filed a lawsuit against the bank on the basis of customer applications. A large number of clients turned out to be in an unpleasant situation, related to the difficulty in repaying loans they took in 2007 and 2008. Customers took loans in a bank in currency (euro) with conversion to Swiss franc. Then the Swiss franc sharply and very strongly jumped up, it turned out that by as much as 80%, compared with the period when loans were taken. The situation was complicated by the fact that loans were repaid in euros, and the bank billed customers with debts in Swiss francs.

The Consumer Rights Protection Center said that the bank attracted customers by advertising, emphasizing the easy terms of loan servicing, which clients considered attractive and in this situation took on unrealistic obligations. The Center also said that the bank was giving customers inaccurate information, misleading them, putting customers in a desperate situation - and as a result people were not able to repay loans at such high interest rates.
