Montenegrin Police Officers Convicted for Leaking Information to Criminal Leader

Two Montenegrin police officers have been found guilty of aiding a powerful criminal organization by leaking sensitive information about the movements of a rival gang leader. Ljubo Milović and Marko Novaković were convicted for their ties to the Kavač criminal clan.

According to the verdict, Radoje Zvicer, the head of the Kavač clan, directed Milović and Novaković to track Jovan Vukotić, the late leader of the opposing Škaljari group. Milović was sentenced to four years in prison for creating a criminal organization, while Novaković received seven years for prolonged abuse of official position and membership in an organized crime group.

Prosecutors stated that Milović and Novaković intentionally assisted Zvicer and other clan members in 2020 by collecting and relaying information on Vukotić's whereabouts. Novaković, as an official with the Kotor Security Department, allegedly misused his position by providing police data to Milović, who then passed it to Zvicer.

Milović is currently unavailable to state authorities and faces multiple ongoing criminal proceedings. This conviction marks his first official sentence. The court has ordered the accused to remain in custody.
