The measure of custody has been proposed for the reasons stipulated in Article 132, items b) and d) of the Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is, due to the danger that, if at large, the suspect might hinder the investigation, conceal evidence and influence witnesses or accessories, as well as due to the exceptional circumstances of the criminal offense, as a result of which the release of the suspect would cause disturbance of public order and citizens.

The suspect is under investigation by the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to the existence of grounds of suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of Organized Crime, referred to in Article 342 of the Criminal Code of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in conjunction with the criminal offenses of Illegal Interceding, referred to in Article 382 of the Criminal Code of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Accessory after the Fact, referred to in the Criminal Code of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Two persons have been remanded in custody in this case. The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina has expanded the investigation in this case and it will continue conducting investigative actions in the period to follow.
