BREAKING: Urgent reports confirm that police in Montenegro have filed criminal charges against three officials for illegally issuing weapon acquisition permits. The charges stem from alleged abuses of power within the Ministry of Interior, raising serious concerns about public safety and governance.
According to the Montenegro Police Directorate, an investigation revealed that from 2013 to mid-2021, Z.Đ. (67), the former head of the Bar administrative unit, and B.D. (45), a senior advisor at the same unit, improperly granted permits for the acquisition of category “B” weapons. Authorities state that these individuals issued approvals to applicants who did not meet the necessary legal requirements, thus violating their official duties.
In a separate case, G.B., a police officer, faces charges of document falsification. This allegation involves creating a fraudulent certificate on December 22, 2025, under the name of the Police Directorate Union without the consent of the authorized representative. He allegedly used this document to secure a deferred payment deal for goods valued at nearly €3,000.
This scandal raises urgent questions about the integrity of the Ministry of Interior and its commitment to law enforcement. Citizens are understandably concerned about the potential implications for public safety, especially regarding the distribution of firearms.
As investigations continue, authorities are calling for increased scrutiny of the processes surrounding weapons permits in Montenegro. The police are urging anyone with information related to these cases to come forward.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops, reflecting the ongoing efforts to uphold justice and accountability within government institutions.
