In response to the findings, a state prosecutor from the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica issued an order for her arrest.

B.P. now faces charges of theft, as confirmed by police statements. The incident highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address and reduce criminal activities related to property crime in Podgorica.
