Former mayor of Budva is ready to go free

The loud corruption scandal involving high-ranking officials of Budva's opposition, including the mayor of Budva Lazar Radzhenovich, accused of fraud in the amount of more than 20 million euros, is likely to end soon, and Radzhenovich himself will be released.

This became possible after he signed an agreement on confessing guilt and ending the period of pre-trial detention, appointed by the court in just 5 months. It is assumed that Radzhenovich may temporarily be released, despite the prison sentence of 20 months and a fine of 30,000 euros awarded to him by the court.

Another signatory of fraud was signed, Milos Marovich, convicted for a year and a fine of almost 400,000 euros.

However, the highest state prosecutor of Montenegro, Ivica Stankovic, said at a news conference yesterday that in the future the country could expect a new wave of arrests on corruption and use of official position, and the signing of the plea agreement only makes it easier and cheaper to work consequences.
