Ratko Knezevic, described as a Montenegrin businessman, says he is ready to testify in the cigarette smuggling case against Stanko Subotic, aka Cane. The former advisor of Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic told B92 TV that he has talked with the Serbian special prosecutor via video link from Zagreb about the so-called Tobacco Mafia, that worked on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. Ex-Djukanovic ally "ready to testify" “These conversations cannot be used as evidence in the process, but I will be happy to come if the Serbian prosecution calls on me to testify,” he said. Knezevic previously accused Djukanovic and Subotic for other crimes as well, including murder and money laundering, and mentioned them as persons involved in cigarette smuggling indictments issued in Italy and Switzerland. He said that it will be "up to the court and prosecution" to confirm who ordered last year's murder of Croatian journalist Ivo Pukanic, but added that he "believes that in the end, it will turn out it was Djukanovic and Subotic". Knezevic also stated he was unaware whether "Pukanic introduced blackmail into Croatian journalism", but that he "knows he was offered a lot of money to refrain from publishing many things", and said the money was offered "via a Tobacco Mafia courier".
