Spanish authorities have arrested Vladimir Vujotic, a 41-year-old citizen of Montenegro, following an Interpol alert. The arrest took place today as a result of direct cooperation between the police forces of Montenegro and Spain, according to a statement from the Montenegrin Police Directorate.
The operation, conducted by the National Central Bureau (NCB) Interpol Podgorica, successfully located Vujotic in Spain. This was made possible through the efficient exchange of information between the two police agencies. The Montenegrin authorities had previously gathered data that was shared in real-time with their Spanish counterparts, facilitating the fugitive’s apprehension.
Details of the Charges Against Vujotic
Vujotic is wanted under an international arrest warrant issued by NCB Interpol Podgorica. He faces serious charges, including the creation of a criminal organization and abuse of official position. These allegations relate to an ongoing criminal case overseen by the Special State Prosecutor’s Office in Montenegro.
Authorities in Montenegro are now preparing to communicate with their Spanish counterparts regarding Vujotic’s extradition. This process will involve further coordination between NCB Interpol Podgorica and NCB Interpol Madrid to ensure that he is returned to Montenegro to face trial.
The arrest highlights the effectiveness of international police collaboration in tackling cross-border crime. It is a significant step in the ongoing efforts to bring fugitives to justice, particularly those accused of serious offenses that threaten public safety.
