Montenegro Shaken as Convicted Crime Boss Vanishes After Sentencing

Montenegro’s president criticized the government after Miloš Medenica, convicted of leading an organized crime group and sentenced to over ten years, went missing despite being under house arrest, prompting public outrage and calls for accountability; his mother, former Supreme Court head Vesna Medenica, was also sentenced for illegal influence. The case involves allegations of drug trafficking, smuggling, bribery and abuse of office, references encrypted SKY ECC messages, and has drawn scrutiny from anti-corruption watchdogs and international reporting.
