Bari Prosecutor Giuseppe Scelci said that Milo Djukanovic could be tried for his alleged involvement in cigarette smuggling activities once he leaves politics. “Milo Djukanovic is being protected by immunity while he is the prime minister and chief of state. The moment he no longer has immunity, he will be able to be tried in a special procedure, different from the one that involves seven citizens from Montenegro and Serbia, which began on November 11,” Scelci told Podgorica daily Dan. Djukanovic trial ”possible” Scelci led the investigation against Prime Minister Djukanovic. Explaining Italian court procedures, he said that a new judge for the preliminary hearings would have to begin new hearings in order to decide what the basis for indicting Djukanovic would be. Djukanovic said recently that Scelci led an investigation against him “without arguments or legal basis,” and said that he would be filing charges against the Bari prosecutor. The Montenegrin Prime Minister said that he did not use his immunity when testifying before the Italian courts and that he will be suing Scelci who used the immunity “as an emergency exit from the uncomfortable circumstances of leading a ten-year investigation without arguments.” The prosecutor told daily Dan that he did not want to comment on Djukanovic’s statement, and that he will “wait for the official reaction of his attorney.” A trial began on November 11 in Bari against seven citizens of Serbia and Montenegro accused of being involved in an international cigarette smuggling ring.
