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.
This announcement does not prejudice the outcome of the criminal proceedings and does not violate the principle of the presumption of innocence. A person shall be considered innocent of a crime until guilt has been established by a final verdict (Article 3, paragraph 1 of the CPC BiH).
