Dirty money financed Montenegrin club 26 July 2009 | 12:20 | Source: Blic
BERN -- A Swiss indictment on cigarette smuggling in the Balkans says that money gained in this way financed a well-known Montenegrin sports club.
The prosecution in the Swiss town of Bern claims that part of the illegal gains made by a criminal group of cigarette smugglers, made available in Switzerland, financed basketball club Budućnost from Podgorica.
At the time, the club had strong results on the European level, with Veselin Barović as its president at one point.
The indictment specifies that large sums of money were paid to the bank accounts of head coaches and players, including Miroslav Nikolić, Milenko Topić, Saša Obradović, Vladimir Kuzmanović, Dejan Tomašević and others.
Two men identified as Franco del Tore and Paolo Savina obtained exclusive licenses for cigarette transit from Montenegrin authorities in the 1990's.
Now the Swiss prosecution claims that Del Tore paid millions to Zetatrans company and the state-owned firm Montenegro Tobacco Transit in transit taxes, but that payments were also made to now Montenegrin PM Milo Đukanović, his family members, ministers and aides.
Zetatrans, in charge of transporting cigarettes, is believed to have received USD 120mn.
This indictment mentions Milo Đukanović, Stanko Subotić, Branko Vujošević, Veselin Barović, Goran Rakočević, Milan Petrović, Dušanka Jeknić and Žarko Marković, as well as a number of other Montenegrin officials.
Previously, Đukanović's name was dropped from an Italian indictment concerning cigarette smuggling. One of the Montenegrin premier's close associates recently gave an interview branding him "the boss of the cigarette smuggling cartel". www.b92.net/eng/news/region-article.php?yyyy=2009&mm=07&dd=26&nav_id=60737

yea you are right, Montenegrins have always been the biggest mobsters out of all the serbs (no offense to my boy Bob crnogorac LOL), but just the fact that the government seemingly has something to do with it is what makes it so fascinating (in a bad way).
Just my two cents.

It's not just CG but all of the Balkan countries. Like there's no corruption going on in the western countries like Amerikkka, Canada, & others a like. Give your head a shake.
