BELGRADE (Sputnik) — "The special prosecutor's office expanded the investigation over the forming of the criminal group and terrorist attempt. This decision was made regarding two persons M.C. and A.N. on the basis of the justified suspicion that they had committed a crime — creation of a criminal group," the prosecutor's office said.
According to the statement, Cadenovic was detained late on Tuesday and put under arrest for 72 hours. The second suspect, A. Nikic, was said to have been outside the country.
On October 16, 2015, on the parliamentary elections day in Montenegro, 20 people were detained and 14 of them arrested for planning to conduct attacks, targeting both civilian population and high-ranking statesmen, and to seize the parliament's building.
On November 6, 2015, Montenegro's prosecutor Milivoje Katnic reportedly said that "nationalists from Russia" planned to stage a government overthrow last month, clarifying that the prosecutors "don't have any evidence that the state of Russia is involved in any sense." The Russian government refuted the claims.
According to media reports, the majority of the detainees have admitted their guilt in planning the coup.
