INDICTMENT ISSUED AGAINST FRANJO VIDOVIĆ FOR ILLICIT TRAFFICKING IN ARMS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT
18.10.2013. 15:40As alleged in the Indictment, the accused Franjo Vidović is charged to have, on October 22, 2011 at around 8 a.m. at the international border crossing "Broad", participated in the import of a rifle "ADLER ITALY MOD. JAGER AP-74 22LR CAT. 1406" into BiH without a permission required pursuant to the legal provisions in the BiH.
Specifically, the accused had previously obtained the aforementioned rifle in Switzerland and asked an unidentified person in Onsingen - Switzerland to pack the rifle in a travel bag and hand it over to a bus driver of a Swiss company who was driving the bus from Basel to Mostar. He had also told him that the bag would be collected by a person somewhere near the petrol station which is located in the municipality of Gradačac and handed over to him in person.
According to the indictment, the intent was not realized because the authorized officers of BPU "Brod" discovered the above-mentioned rifle during an inspection.
The Indictment was forwarded to the Court of BiH for confirmation.
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).
