B92 - News - Region - "Montenegro got millions from drug boss": "Suspected drug smuggling kingpin Darko Šarić gave one million euros out of each cocaine shipment to several top state officials in Montenegro. This is according to an article in Belgrade daily Blic this Thursday, which alleges that the Montenegrin-born fugitive who holds Serbian passport faced only one condition: that the drugs should not enter Montenegro, or be sold there. The daily quotes investigation data from Operation Balkan Warrior as the course of its allegations. The article also says that there was an agreement with Šarić that none of the ships carrying cocaine could dock in Montenegrin ports.
Šarić and his gang are suspected of attempting to smuggle 2.7 tons of cocaine from South America last year. The shipment was intercepted in the joint operation launched by police and intelligence agencies from Serbia, Europe, and the U.S. According to the Blic article, Šarić was shipping his cocaine to Mediterranean ports in Greece and Spain. 'In return, he was provided with logistics for smuggling the drugs from South America to Europe, undisturbed money laundering through Montenegrin banks, transfers via offshore companies as well as ties with the political leadership'."
