Montenegro local elections (BETAPHOTO/MILOS MISKOV/DS)
Based on allegations reported in the media, Belgrade’s First Basic Prosecutor’s Office has launched a mandatory investigation into whether or not signatures were forged on the support lists for certain tickets in the upcoming Dec. 17 snap elections.
“A case has been opened and the police have been ordered to undertake all necessary steps to determine whether any crimes were committed,” a representative of the Prosecutor’s Office told Insajder TV.
The Prosecutor’s Office explained that it had received one criminal complaint on Nov. 24, but that the investigation was mandatorily launched due media reports.
“The crimes which have possibly been committed are [personal] identification forgery, the unauthorized collection of personal information and, potentially, official identification forgery,” it was said.
Numerous public figures and journalists have claimed that their signatures appeared on certain ticket support lists despite the fact that they never signed nor provided the personal information necessary for completing the forms in question.
