Vladislav Paja Jabučanin detained in Montenegro over money laundering

Vladislav Paja Jabučanin has been ordered into detention for up to 30 days by the Special State Prosecutor's Office in Montenegro due to a flight risk. He is suspected of forming a criminal organization and money laundering.

The investigation alleges that Jabučanin, along with Davor Perović, acted as formal owners of real estate in Tivat and Kotor to conceal the true ownership of properties built with drug proceeds belonging to Radoje Zvicer, the alleged leader of the Kavač clan. Specifically, Jabučanin is accused of spending 600,000 euros on a residential-business building, terrace, and pier, while Perović allegedly spent 300,000 euros on a family home and fence.

During searches in Cetinje, police seized significant assets, including 34 paintings by famous artists, 14 valuable vehicles (including several vintage cars), a Rolex watch, and various other movable items. Authorities have also seized millions in real estate, including the Konak restaurant, houses, and other facilities, which will undergo financial investigation to determine if they are proceeds of crime.
