No separate date was published for the search and arrest itself; 16 June 2020 is the date of the police announcement and news reports used as the incident date.
The marijuana weight is reported as about 30 kilograms (and as 30 kilograms in some local accounts), not an exact net laboratory measurement, and no forensic confirmation or street value was published.
Accounts differ on the searched property, described as a flat and other premises in police-based accounts and as a house and other premises by Vijesti.
The OCCRP report gives the ammunition as two rounds, whereas the Police Directorate statement and Montenegrin outlets specify two magazines containing 37 rounds of rifle ammunition.
No formal indictment, detention order, plea or court outcome beyond referral to the Higher Prosecutor's Office for questioning was reported.
The same OCCRP article also reports the 15 June 2020 burning of about five tons of unspecified seized drugs at Nikšić's Javorak factory and a multi-year tally of 20 tons of hashish and 30 tons of cocaine seized at sea, both left out here because the five-ton total has no cannabis breakdown and the maritime tally is not a single event.
The accounts rely on the Police Directorate announcement and tweet, though Montenegrin outlets also report the suspect's full name.
