Podgorica police arrested S. L. (36) and N. M. (36) on suspicion that they enabled the escape of Miloš Medenica, the son of the former president of the Supreme Court of Montenegro, Vesna Medenica.
The Police Administration announced that it is suspected that S. L. and N. M. committed the criminal offense by providing Miloš Medenica with assistance and logistics in hiding, so that he would be unavailable to law enforcement authorities after he violated a supervision measure.
“In the police-prosecutorial activities, which were carried out in a synchronized and coordinated manner, based on the facts collected so far, there is evidence indicating grounds for suspicion that the stated two persons committed the criminal offense with which they are charged in the criminal complaint,” the police statement says.
It is emphasized that the suspects, along with the criminal complaint, will be brought before the state prosecutor in the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica.

Miloš Medenica escaped on the day when he and his mother were sentenced in the first instance to 10 years in prison each. Miloš Medenica was convicted as the head of an organized criminal group. An international Interpol warrant has been issued for him.
Vesna Medenica held the highest judicial positions in Montenegro for 17 years and resigned at the end of 2020, after the change of government in Montenegro.
She was arrested in April 2022, following the publication of Europol transcripts, and six months later she was released to defend herself from freedom.
