- Dženis Kadrić, born in 1989 in Sarajevo, former employee of the Federation Police Administration, and Alem Hodović, born in 1983 in Priboj.
The 30-day custody measure was proposed for the reasons described in Article 132 (1) (a), (b) and (c) of the Criminal Procedure Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that is, because of the risk of flight, as well as because of the risk that the suspects, if at large, could obstruct the investigation, conceal evidence and exert influence on witnesses or accomplices, or repeat the criminal offence, or completing the attempted one.
They are suspected of having committed the criminal offence of Organised crime set out in Article 250 in conjunction with the criminal offence of Money laundering set out in Article 209 of the Criminal Code of BiH.
As part of investigative and operational activities, information and evidence were collected from the Sky and Anom applications that the suspected persons were involved in organised crime for a long time, which was related to the illicit international trafficking in large quantities of narcotic drugs, as well as money laundering, all with a view to acquiring a large unlawful gain in money, material goods or other forms of benefits, that is, expensive vehicles and a large number of real estate.
The operation was carried out in the Sarajevo area under the supervision of the prosecutor in charge from the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH. Police officers of the Sarajevo Canton Ministry of the Interior took part in the implementation of the operation and support was provided by the Intelligence and Security Agency of BiH, with which intensive cooperation was achieved.
During the operation, a significant amount of money, military communication equipment, four rifles, as well as four pistols, two expensive motor vehicles and other items that can be used as evidence in further proceedings were seized.
The custody motion was sent to the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where a hearing is expected to be scheduled based on the motion of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH.
