Read our privacy policy Montenegro's president called Thursday for a thorough investigation of whoever dug an underground tunnel into a court storage area in the country's capital, describing the action as an an attack on the state and its justice system. “I urge full responsibility and a full discovery,” President Jakov Milatovic said days after the tunnel was found leading from an apartment building to the Higher Court facility across the street in Podgorica. “The tunnel is an attack on the justice and on Montenegro.” The tunnel was discovered Monday after court clerks noticed disturbed items and felt a draft in the storage area, Montenegrin media reported. Some media reports about the discovery referred to high-profile prison escapes, including the one former drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman made from a maximum-security Mexican prison in 2015 via a tunnel from his cell.
