A former senior government official in Podgorica filed a police report after her explicit videos began circulating on social media. The case has taken a more serious dimension: the official reportedly had a romantic relationship with a person now suspected of committing a double murder.

Authorities are investigating how the videos were leaked and whether they were used for blackmail or political discrediting. Particular attention is focused on whether the murder suspect created the videos to pressure the official while she was still in office.

The case raises questions about security vetting of public officials and the alarming closeness between state institutions and the criminal underworld. While the former official's identity is known in Montenegro, institutions are working to protect her during the investigation.

This incident is just one in a series of scandals affecting Montenegro, where the line between state institutions and organized crime often appears dangerously thin.
