POSITION OF THE PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE OF BIH REGARDING THE EVENTS IN TUZLA
24.06.2013. 14:52In view of the fact that the recent events in Tuzla which resulted in severe breach of security are linked with the unlawful pardons that are subject of investigation of the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH in the Budimir et al. case, the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH is of opinion that such a development of the situation is expected due to the large number of perpetrators of serious crimes who are at large as a consequence of unlawful pardoning.
After the criminal showdown in Tuzla, which only by sheer luck did not result in a larger number of casualties since many passers-by and children were around at the time, we send the message to all the citizens of BiH that the Prosecutor’s Office of BiH and law enforcement agencies will continue with their activities aimed at combating corruption and strengthening the security of all the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues its investigation in the case of Budimir et al., for the purpose of issuing an Indictment.
