The police in Amsterdam arrested three men who allegedly helped prepare the liquidation of a Montenegrin criminal, Het Parool writes . The failed attack took place last October. Goran Savic (49) was killed instead of the Montenegrin Jovan Durovic. Durovic survived, with some gunshot wounds to the abdomen.

Goran Savic was the manager of pizzeria La Piccola Baracca at Hugo de Grootplein in Amsterdam-West. The trio of suspects reportedly told gunman Cherif A. (42) that Durovic was present that day, and also gave him a phone and a firearm. The description would also have been passed on. In the weeks before, the three would also have carried out observations.

Cherif A. was arrested the same day in a car on Admiraal de Ruijterweg, also in West. He was wearing striking clothing that resembles the gunman's clothing on surveillance footage. In the car was the murder weapon with its DNA. A. denies , saying that two others are the culprits.

Durovic is involved in a feud between different groups from Montenegro, the Škaljari and Kavač clans around the town of Kotor. Media speak of more than fifty deaths. Durovic is said to have been attacked again, which he survived.

There will be another pro forma hearing in the case next week.
