PERSON CHARGED WITH TAX EVASION PLEADS GUILTY; SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT AND CONFISCATION OF PROCEEDS OF CRIME AMOUNTING TO KM (BAM) 15000 PROPOSED
03.12.2018. 14:53In accordance with the agreement, it was proposed that the accused be sentenced to a suspended two-year prison sentence, which will not be implemented if the accused does not commit a new criminal offence in the next three years, as well as by a fine of KM (BAM) 15,000, which is the amount of proceeds the accused obtained through commission of the criminal offence.
The proposed sentence corresponds to the role and responsibility of the accused in the commission of the criminal offence he is charged with.
He was accused of illegally recruiting people who would conclude notarial agreements and become authorised persons in the companies that would subsequently be used for VAT evasion carried out by other companies.
By signing the agreement, the accused waived his right to trial, as well as the right to appeal the judgment rendered by the Court of BiH pursuant to the agreement.
The agreement was forwarded to the Court of BiH.
