Spanish Police Arrest Montenegrin National Wanted by Interpol

Spanish authorities have apprehended Vladimir Vujotic, a 41-year-old citizen of Montenegro, based on an Interpol notice issued by Montenegro’s National Central Bureau (NCB). The arrest took place today following a direct exchange of information between Montenegrin and Spanish police, highlighting the effectiveness of international cooperation in law enforcement.

The Montenegrin police reported that Vujotic was located and detained in Spain thanks to timely data shared with their Spanish counterparts. This collaboration underscores the importance of real-time communication in tracking down international fugitives.

According to the police, Montenegro is seeking Vujotic’s extradition to face criminal charges related to the formation of a criminal organization and the abuse of official position. These allegations are under the jurisdiction of the Special State Prosecutor’s Office in Montenegro. The police have confirmed that the next steps will involve ongoing communication between NCB Interpol Podgorica and NCB Interpol Madrid to facilitate Vujotic’s return to Montenegro for legal proceedings.

This case highlights the significant role of Interpol in cross-border law enforcement efforts and the commitment of nations to uphold justice. As the situation develops, further updates are expected regarding the extradition process and the legal proceedings that await Vujotic in Montenegro.
