URGENT UPDATE: Montenegro police have launched a criminal investigation against three officials in a shocking case of illegal weapon permits. Authorities confirm that the Interior Ministry employees are accused of abusing their positions to issue unlawful approvals for firearm acquisitions.
In a statement released earlier today, the Police Administration revealed that the charges involve Z.Đ. (67) and B.D. (45), who worked in the Bar administrative unit. From 2013 to mid-2021, Z.Đ. served as the chief of this unit, while B.D. held the position of independent advisor. Both are suspected of unlawfully granting permission for the purchase of Category B firearms to individuals who did not meet the legal requirements.
The implications of this situation are serious, as it raises urgent questions about public safety and the integrity of the licensing process in Montenegro. The authorities are now under pressure to ensure that such abuses do not recur.
Additionally, the police have filed charges against G.B., another official within the Police Administration. G.B. is accused of forging a document on December 22, 2025, creating a false confirmation from the Police Administration Union. This document was allegedly used to facilitate a purchase agreement for goods valued at nearly €3,000 without proper authorization.
These developments underscore a significant breach of trust within the Interior Ministry, drawing public concern about the oversight of law enforcement agencies in Montenegro. As investigations continue, the community is left wondering how many more cases of misconduct may be uncovered.
What happens next? Authorities are expected to ramp up oversight and review processes to prevent further infractions. Watch for updates as this story develops and more details emerge about the ongoing investigation.
