Montenegro: Corruption Charges Against Top Politicians, First Bank And Central Bank Officials

14:39, July 4, 2012

A leading Montenegrin anti-corruption agency is filing a series of criminal charges alleging abuse of power for personal gain by an array of top government and banking officials who orchestrated and allowed illegal and risky practices by the First Bank of Montenegro. 

The Network for the Affirmation of the NGO Sector (MANS) filed one report with the Special Prosecutor for Organized Crime, Corruption and War Crimes Djurdjina Ivanovic Monday, another Tuesday and said a third would be sent Wednesday.

In a major investigation last month the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and BBC Nightnews disclosed how banking laws and regulations and the Central Bank were brazenly ignored by First Bank which is controlled by the family of former Prime Minister and leading party President Milo Djukanovic.
