Prosecutor of the Special Department for Organized Crime, Economic Crime and Corruption within the Prosecutor's Office of BiH filed a custody motion with the Court of BiH for 7 persons suspected of the criminal offense of Organized Crime under Article 250, Paragraphs 1 and 3 in conjunction with the criminal offenses of Tax Evasion or Fraud under Article 210 and Money Laundering under Article 209 of the Criminal Code of BiH and the criminal offense of Fraud under Article 294 of the Criminal Code of the Federation BiH.
Following the questioning of the suspects the Assigned Prosecutor requested remand in custody on grounds stipulated in Article 132, Paragraph 1, Subparagraphs a) b) c) and d) of the BiH Criminal Procedure Code.
Remand in custody was, inter alia, requested due to risk of flight and the risk that, if released, the suspects might interfere with the investigation, suppress evidence and seek to influence the witnesses or accomplices.
Remand in custody was also requested due to risk that, if released, the suspects might repeat the criminal offense and the manner of execution of the crime committed suggests that their release could lead to disruption of public order and safety.
Custody motion was filed with the Court of BiH.
The Prosecutor's Office of BiH continues its activities in this case with the aim of issuing an indictment.
