Filip Zindoviç arrested in the Netherlands: ‘Sky’ messages reveal cocaine deals with fugitive police officer Ljubo Miloviç

Filip Zindoviç was arrested in the Netherlands, the police announced today, while former police inspector Ljubo Miloviç remains on the run — news revealed by the Nova.rs portal based on the case files of Montenegro’s State Special Prosecution (SDT).

According to those files, the two communicated through the formerly encrypted Sky application, where they discussed extracting dozens of kilograms of cocaine from containers in European ports, agreements for its sale and securing hundreds of thousands of euros in Colombia.

Investigators, as Nova.rs reports citing the Montenegrin newspaper Vijesti, have included in the file their months-long communication, in which the ports of Hamburg, Antwerp, Ambarli, Guayaquil and Posorja are mentioned, along with shipping companies, containers and the possibilities of extracting the cocaine, but also the money that was to be transferred to Colombia.

According to SDT documents, Miloviç used the PIN code 5S7GLO on Sky, while Zindoviç used the code 89HVPV during 2020 and 43E099 the following year.

The details are shocking. A conversation begins on February 6, 2020, when Zindoviç asks the interlocutor whether he can load in Ecuador ‘a cold box with bananas’. Other messages speak of ‘extracting’ 100 kilograms from a dry box at the Ambarli port in Istanbul, of routes from Ecuador and the choice of shipping company — the names CMA, MSC and Hapag-Lloyd are mentioned — as well as of the results: ‘They took out 22’, ‘They took out 19’, one of the conversations reads.

In February 2021, the communication returns to sales and money. Zindoviç sends Miloviç a screenshot of a conversation with a user nicknamed ‘Kaligula’, where goods are sought in larger quantities — ’30-50 every day’. The transfer of large sums to Colombia is also discussed: ‘Tomorrow he can take the million’, Zindoviç wrote on February 16, 2021, asking ‘Shall I confirm it right away?’.

According to the SDT, Miloviç and Filip Zindoviç Kljajeviç appear in several indictments on suspicion of having been part of criminal structures involved in international cocaine trafficking; among other things they are linked to the criminal organisation of Vukashin Vojinoviç, which, according to the charges, smuggled 272 kilograms of cocaine in November and December 2020 alone, later sold for over 7.6 million euros.

Miloviç, a former senior inspector in the anti-drug department, was sentenced at first instance in June this year to four years in prison for creating a criminal organisation.
