Ex-mayor of Podgorica caught on tape receiving $100,000 USD for party funding. Mr Dusko Knezevic, indicted in case where €500 million were allegedly laundered through his banks, has submitted to the media the footage of himself handing an envelope containing €97.500 euros to former mayor of Podgorica Slavoljub Stijepović prior to his electoral campaign rally in Zeta (Podgorica). The Agency for Prevention of Corruption concluded that there are no indications that Democractic Party of Socialists has received private donations in amount which exceeds the legal barrier, which is two thousand euros for donations by natural entities and ten thousand for donations by legal entities. However, the ex-Mayor of Podgorica was indicted by the Special State Prosecution for money laundering through assistance.

Mr Knezevic has also submitted to the media the audio file where Vice governor of the Central Bank of Montenegro, Velibor Milošević extorts the money from him, needed to bribe 6 controllers of Central bank. In the recording it is clearly audible that the report on operations of the Atlas bank, in possession of Mr Knezevic will be negative unless he bribes 6 controllers in amounts of €5-6000 each. Mr Milosevic was arrested and charged with abuse of public office.
