Married top presidential adviser and his subordinate resign as s£x tape scandal rocks Montenegro

An alleged leaked sx tape featuring two prominent government officials in Montenegro has led to both politicians resigning in disgrace. Mirjana Pajkovi, the glamorous now-former director general for the promotion and protection of human rights at the Ministry of Human and Minority Rights, announced her resignation on Friday, according to Montenegrin newspaper Pobjeda. The government has been embroiled in the sx scandal since a video was leaked online, allegedly showing Pajkovi engaging in sxual activity with Dejan Vuki, the married former national security agency director and ex-adviser to President Jakov Milatovi. In her statement, Pajkovi encouraged every woman to reject the notion that they must remain silent when someone attacks them, the outlet reported.  When I myself was exposed to the extreme violence that I posted on social networks, where the first person next to the president of the country, the first former person of the National Security Agency, very persistently and at length during the entire conversation told me that there would be no place for me and no life in Montenegro, she said, claiming Milatovi failed to act in the scandal. Pajkovi said her departure was due to personal reasons but took several swipes at Vuki, accusing him of threatening her with the tape to remain quiet. That my boss would see something that compromised me, where he clearly and directly threatened me that he had compromising material for me, why did I keep quiet at that moment? Pajkovi said, according to the outlet. He told me this personally after I refused to act the way he asked me. Pajkovi said she was unaware of the footage Vuki was allegedly blackmailing her with but feared he would harm her because he was in a top role in the security sector. For example, when someone is blackmailing you. Someone more powerful will ask you for a favor, some behavior that you do not want at that moment, and if you refuse to do it, you will be handed over to someone who is the embodiment of the highest state authority. No one will physically hit you, this is the 21st century, but they very clearly want to destroy your life on all grounds, she wrote. During the long-winded scandal, Pajkovi and Vuki each denied the claims made by the other, filed criminal complaints  and a threat was even made from a landline inside the presidents office, the Serbian Times reported. One criminal complaint filed by Pajkovi was for the unauthorized distribution of explicit content, including a photograph of her. Vuki resigned in late December, also citing personal reasons, after Pajkovi filed the complaints with the police against him following the explicit content surfacing online. I reject all inaccurate, incomplete, and tendentious allegations by which, without evidence, responsibility is being attributed to me for the violation of [Pajkovis] privacy and the distribution of the disputed recordings. I saw that content for the first time only when it began to circulate illegally on social networks, Vuki charged, according to the outlet. Vuki accused Pajkovi of violating his privacy by misappropriating the phone that allegedly recorded him making a threat against her during a phone call on a landline in Milatovis office. The words I addressed to [Pajkovi] on that occasion, which were selectively published with a time delay of one year and three months, were an immediate reaction to the theft and abuse of my phone, he said. In March, Vuki allegedly received a phone call blackmailing him to withdraw a judges candidacy from the constitutional court or have the audio recordings published, he claimed, accusing Pajkovi of being a part of the group that made the call. Vuki said Pajkovi was questioned by authorities after he submitted a police report against her for attempted extortion, theft and abuse of a phone. He also claimed Pajkovi used the recording of the threat in one of her criminal complaints in January, trying to pass it off as a recent development, according to the Serbian Times. It was not clear when the suspected sx tape was made. The post Married top presidential adviser and his subordinate resign as sx tape scandal rocks Montenegro appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
