The aforementioned goods were imported with multiply reduced customs and tax duties, which enabled the accused and their associates to obtain unlawful gain in the amount of about BAM 8.5 million, and that is the amount of damages caused to the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina and therefore to all citizens of our country.
The indictment in this case created the conditions for the prosecution of other suspects from operation Pandora.
